Quick Links

The Quick Links section on the Vertical Hold front page is now powered by del.icio.us and the Net::Delicious perl module.

If you haven't checked del.icio.us out yet, you really should. Even though there are any number of bookmark syncing utilities, I don't want to sync them, I want to access one set of bookmarks. Also del.icio.us gives me incredible flexibility on how to organize them in a drop-dead simple interface. The bookmarklets make it a snap to use from just about anywhere I browse. The fact that it exposes a public API pushes it over the top.

But enough about me... You can also subscribe to other people's bookmarks. I admit that it can be a bit creepy. People bookmark more than they can chew, especially once you get the hang of the system. Take Warren Ellis for example. Actually, don't. Take Rafe Colburn for example. Rafe bookmarks at lot more than he writes. So it's almost, but not quite, like reading his unwritten weblog.

Speaking of weblogs, of course it's all available via RSS.
