[...] If you tried Yahoo’s Del.icio.us Firefox extension in the past and didn’t like the fact that it eliminated the notion of local bookmarks, it’s time to take another look. Don’t take my word for it, as I work on it, but check out this post from Yahoo! Cool thing of the Day. [...]

Ditto what Patrick said. I am on his team and I can tell you that this new version was completely motivated by feedback from users, especially feedback on the above-mentioned discussion group. So get on there and tell us what you like and don’t like.

Incidentally, we’re well along the in the development of a follow-up version, which is going to bring some very cool new features.

Actually we’re usually very responsive to feedback. Many of our users expressed this same sentiment — my team has been working on this upgrade for a couple of months now, it took a while to implement correctly.

If you have questions, comments or suggestions please stop by our Yahoo discussion group “delicious-firefox-extension”.

Still waiting (close to three months) for tv.yahoo.com/listings to be featured as a cool thing.

Yep, I know a lot of folks that do that. The *REAL* trick is when you’ve got stuff you absolutely don’t want to get out. (Think company proprietary information or links to personal financial stuff.) While I trust del.icio.us not to screw up, I don’t really trust myself. To keep those safe, I tend to make a copy of my bookmarks.html file, encrypt it and store it in a nice, safe, central location. It’s a pain, but fortunately the “Really Private” info I have doesn’t change all the time anyway. The bulk of my links are in del.icio.us.

Having the option to mix and match was the win I was looking for. Hopefully it’ll help out others in the same mindset.

For home network tool bookmarks, I still add them to delicious, but I don’t share them, and tag them with something like ‘tools:home’.

This way if my pc blows up, I still have all my bookmarks safe and sound in delicious. And if for some reason I wanted that url when I was away from that machine, it’s still possible.
