A comment on the idea "Delicious should support the XFN standard." in Delicious:

Hopefully the whole internet :)

The beauty of XFN is that it transcends an individual site. If you look at my profile or contacts on Get Satisfaction, you don't get a very good picture of who I am, or who I know. If you add my Delicious contacts, things become a bit more clear. But if you could add metadata gathered from my entire social graph, spread out over every profile and every site I frequent, you begin to know who I am.

In order for XFN to work, users need to have the ability to link profiles. I can add links to all of my profiles (for example, using a service like Profilactic.com), but this does me no good unless each of those sites allow me to link back, creating a bi-directional link.

If you'd like to see it in action, check out Socialsearchme.com. It is an early stage spider for XFN. Notice that my profile currently contains only the sites which allow bi-directional rel="me" links. – bobthecow, on September 01, 2008 16:27

We have a test update available (2.0.99) that fixes these issues - see http://support.delicious.com/forum/co... for details.

Thanks for the suggestion! Do you have something in mind that would use this information?

We've fixed the bookmark-saving interface for older bookmarklet buttons. There are a few cases where people may not be getting suggested tags, but if people encounter that, it's best to let me know the details and I can help work it out individually.

What version of the add-on are you using? Part of the 2.0.95 release was a fix for address bar weirdness. – britta, on August 29, 2008 05:58

The Delicious extension stops the address bar in Firefox 3 working for me (can't press 'enter'), but more depressing still is that it breaks the new Ubiquity extension too - again, I can't press enter

We don't have a way to change the time right now, but it's something we may add back in the future.

britta replied on August 16, 2008 08:07 to the question "Why should I want to sync Delicious with my browser?" in Delicious:

I believe that people find the Firefox add-on useful mainly because it gives you quick, convenient access to your bookmarks. Instead of having to go to the Delicious site to browse one of your tags or look for a bookmark, you can do that from the add-on's toolbar or sidebar.

You can put the add-on in Classic Mode though, if you don't need the syncing and just want the "tag" buttons. Other people like that mode because it's simple and unobtrusive, and they don't mind (or enjoy) going to the Delicious site to view their bookmarks and those of their friends.

Sounds like you're getting the "install wizard" popped up every time you start Firefox. You can get rid of that by signing in (and then switching to Classic Mode if you like), or by disabling this add-on from the Add-ons window.

Let me know if you'd like more details!

britta replied on August 16, 2008 00:07 to the question "Quick way to find an account when not logged in?" in Delicious:

That's a good question. I'll look into whether we can include user search in the main search engine in the future.

If you're logged in, the "People" drop-down at the top of the page includes an option for "Go to a user", but that drop-down doesn't show up on the homepage when logged out.

So, here's what I'd do until we improve this: when you're at http://delicious.com/, type the username into the address bar, like this: http://delicious.com/your_username. That'll take you right there.

That'll be great. Thanks for all your team's excellent work! – back, on August 13, 2008 18:38

This is part of the set of issues with 2.0.95; when we release a fix, favorite tags should work better too. – britta, on August 13, 2008 16:31

I'm on FF3 and del.icio.us extension works "OK". - well, OK means it works on adding and viewing bookmarks, but not showing any of my "favorite tags", neither in menu, nor in the toolbar.

Any fix/tips for that?

oops, sorry for wrong place.
Thank you both for pointing this out.

Britta: If you like, you can create an article on the Firefox Support Knowledge Base about how to deal with delicious issues. Check out this page for more info, it would really help everyone out: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/C... – Thomas, on August 13, 2008 12:16
