AVOS Backtracking Like Whoa - 43 views
-
If they bring back basic functionality, I will be much more open to the new stuff they are planning. Some of it actually sounds fun, just not at the expense of being able to use the site as a social bookmarking site. Yanno?
I know that a knee-jerk negative reaction to change is normal, but I've been really surprised over the last year or so at how badly some of the big players have misjudged and mismanaged their launches of Web 2 stuff (coff Google+ coff). And with AVOS coming from the YouTube team, this is their business, so why so poorly launched?
How to create subscriptions to tags in Diigo - 40 views
-
I've been playing around with Diigo's 'list' function and discovered that you can get something like a subscription feed to the community tags you want to follow. Here's my current feed: http://www.diigo.com/list/cupidsbow/fanfic-reading-list
Has anyone found a better way? (Other than RSS)

What I'm missing most is the particular combination of features delicious had, allowing you to see at a glance:
-chronological order of bookmarks for a given tag across the whole site
-how many times each link had been bookmarked (ie. popularity/newness)
-who bookmarked it this time
-whether I had it bookmarked too (ie. had I already read it)
-url (so I could choose between AO3, DW, LJ etc)
-comment field (usually with a description of the fic)
-tags
Does any other site do all that? Can add-ons or account settings get one most of the way?
Surely there must be something similar?
Ironic that one of the few services to actually manage to cut out the noise in a really significant way, revamped the service to cut noise and increased it instead. LOL.
I don't think many people understood the functionality of delicious, especially outside of fandom. I can't think of another explanation for the way people are trying desperately to fix a problem that delicious had already been fixed. Now it's no longer working, I find myself going "Huh, I guess this is what people mean when they say they can't find stuff online". Just shows that fandom is really bloody good at making its own stuff inside the cracks of other people's stuff.
