Delicious is getting in its own way by trying to compete in this space. If they simplified their message to "free your bookmarks from your browser" I think they would dramatically increase adoption.</p>JschwaSun, 21 Dec 2008 16:18:59 -0000http://robberbaronblog.com/2008/12/deliciouscom-is-for-normal-people/#comment-4531656<p>Interesting article. I remember in 2003 thinking <a href="http://del.icio.us" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" title="del.icio.us">del.icio.us</a> was a byzantine site. Utterly confusing. I thought the same thing about RSS. With RSS, it was just a matter of time before web-based tools became available and so darn easy that people couldn't help but use the feeds.</p><p><a href="http://Del.icio.us" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" title="Del.icio.us">Del.icio.us</a> has a different problem. It's not the basic concept that's getting in the way--people understand bookmarks. OK, the greater concepts -- Folksonomy and community-based ranking --are hard to use on a daily basis without good tools. The big problem is that <a href="http://del.icio.us" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" title="del.icio.us">del.icio.us</a> is a difficult tool. Digg and Reddit were direct competitors. Right now I like <a href="http://GetGlue.com" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" title="GetGlue.com">GetGlue.com</a>. But I still love <a href="http://del.icio.us" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" title="del.icio.us">del.icio.us</a>.</p><p>By the way, the links in the article are going to <a href="http://delicio.us.com" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" title="delicio.us.com">delicio.us.com</a> which I don't think is the bookmarking service. <br></p>RobKelleyFri, 19 Dec 2008 18:06:59 -0000
