del.icio.us organization ideas?
vrillusions | Oct 26 2006
I know this was mentioned at one point 43f, but couldn't find the link. Anyway, how are YOU organizing your tags on del.icio.us (or whatever similar tagging bookmark site)? I still need to try bundling since that's new to me (i mainly just add links via firefox plugin). Also want to gtd-ize it a bit (have an @read/review tag for all the sites I want to check to see if it's even worthwhile saving, umm... that would really be it) Also, any recommendations on apps to help aid in sorting tags on there? 43f wiki. There's also [url=http://johnvey.com/features/deliciousdirector/">del.icio.us direc.tor. Haven't tested either of these. Although may give cocoalicious a shot since I have my work powerbook just sitting next to me (at home I use for IM). What I've been trying to do lately is ask myself "when would I need to know about this link, or when would it be beneficial for me to know about it?" If you look at the later one's there may only be a couple tags. When first using it I made a ton of tags for each link. And I want to make them as generalized as possible. Main goal is go through all the tags with just one item and either delete it or move them to something else. One method I can recall is using a three tag approach, going from broadest to most specific. Like a link to css quick reference could be something like "reference webdesign css" for the three tags. Going with the idea that when you are then browsing for something, you would first say you're looking for reference links, in webdesign, dealing with css. But as you can tell I haven't been really following that :) My mess of a del.icio.us page: 4 Comments

Even more important now with FF2Submitted by JamesPro on November 16, 2006 - 7:13am.
Here's a "me-too." As many others will be doing, I just upgraded to FF2, and what a mess! My bookmarks have moved with me from browser to browser, probably dating back to 1995... Talk about a pack rat. Last time I tried to clean things up in delicious, it was a real pain to click, wait, change, etc. What do I use to make bulk changes? Should I use many tags or keep it to a minimum? :confused: Let's get this thread going again-- :eek: »

<< thread subscribed to >> This is the primary reason I gave up on delicious. Naw, it was just an overwhelming feeling. It's just too easy to add a new site to delicious. Even easier to add a bad tag. Before I knew it, I had many duplicate sites, and variations of the same tag 'webdev', 'web design', 'web tools', etc. strewn about everywhere. I exported all my delicious tags to bookmark.html for importing to firefox, but now I'm seeing the true benefit of having them whacky tags. ay ay ay ... another organizational mishap. »
