Wonderful bookmark archiving service

This rocks. Del.icio.us is an archiving service for personal links. You can access your bookmarks from anywhere, and get to them through RSS and/or APIs!

I love it when I stumble over services that I have been thinking about building for my own purpose, but find them even better implemented than I could ever have accomplished myself. Last time it happened it was BlogLines, which has grown to become a necessity in my information scavenging life. Before that, shorl quickly conquered a permanent position among my browser shortcuts.

Without a doubt del.icio.us is a service that belongs there as well.

Delicious is a social bookmarks manager. This system is pre-pre-alpha; many features have yet to be added. Additionally, many, many bugs remain. Please be careful. The main page and inboxes now have RSS feeds. Many more bugs to be fixed and I'll start on the features.

This is so cool. Not to mention usable! I love the interface. Extremely fast and easy to use, allowing me to store bookmarks with descriptions and "tags" (which are used as categories) sorting all the bookmarks in neat groups.

More and more I move information to web based services. The browser becomes my all-purpose tool to get information, archive information, publish information, search for information, communicate and do business.

The more I can avoid storing stuff on a single computer that I have to bring with me in order to access the information I want, the happier I get.

All I wish for now is a better web interface to my email. Some sort of IMAP solution and a web based client. Even better would be to be able to access my email folders over the web in an ordinary fashion if I wanted to, but also subscribe to certain email-feeds (created using filters perhaps, like sorting in folders in Thunderbird) in Bloglines. Getting all my mailing list and newsletter subscriptions as RSS-feeds instead of email messages.

Add a web based calendar that could synchronise with my Nokia 7650 phone / PDA and I would be the happiest little bunny on the web.
