In questi giorni sono “Guest Editor” sulla versione italiana di Download Chip.eu

Il merito (o la colpa, fate voi) è del mio amico e caporedattore su varie testate Andrea Grassi, che cura questo sito-risorsa in italiano sul software e mi ha richiesto una selezione di software e utility per… ebbene sì, Delicious.com

Sul sito trovate dieci schermate di programmi per Windows, Mac e Linux (o semplicemente multipiattaforma) e alcune aggiunte per browser che ho selezionato tra le tantissime disponibili e spero aiutino a usare o sfruttare meglio il servizio di bookmarking sociale di cui così spesso parlo.
Ogni scheda ha una schermata esplicativa, una descrizione e -ovviamente- un link per il download.

Fatene buon uso!

Did you know that some bookmarks on Delicious get a dangerous icon, are kept private (“not shared”) and a warning pops up when you try to visit them?

Here’s one instance, a bookmark on del.icio.us of a PNG file* stored locally on my hard disk:

And this is what happens if I click on the “restricted” link: Leggi il resto »

Che in Delicious Mobile ci sia dell’altro, molto altro in arrivo, lo si intuisce da quanto scritto dagli addetti sul blog nonché sul forum.

Mentre lavoravo all’articolo per Mytech ho compiuto un’esplorazione a tappeto, indagando sulle cose ancora “nascoste” ma foriere di novità.
Eccone alcune: Leggi il resto »

The new audio player and mobile version aren’t the only new things that found their way on Delicious during its last update.

There’s also (finally) a Bulk Edit mode, available in the upper right box.

When activated it allows a user to change the privacy, delete or modify the tags of many bookmarks in one fell swoop.

The mass-editing was one of users’ more requested features and in an august post on the Delicious forum a member of the team announced that:

But yes, we’re working on a Bulk Edit feature that will do those things.

Here’s some more info on the new delicious audio player that has replaced the older Play Tagger

After Techcrunch picked up and amplified my small discovery Ian Rogers, former GM of Yahoo! Music, has provided some background. In Goose, Delicious Goose he revealed that Delicious is actually using Yahoo!’s In-Page Media Player which was the brainchild of Lucas Gonze who he brought into Yahoo! three years ago and that it took quite a while to get the company’s approval and then actually build it.

Rogers also notes that

It’s very cool in that it is a single line of javascript and reads simple, easy to author, HTML on the page to create the play buttons. The page author needs only add the single line of javascript, then wrap an MP3 link in an href and voila, you have an inline player. Note that the latest Foxytunes player also inserts this player in the page in a Greasemonkey sort of way. [...]

If you actually want proof that Delicious is using the Yahoo! Media Player you just need a peek in the del.icio.us html source code. You won’t find the official
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://mediaplayer.yahoo.com/js"></script>
line but there are two lines

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://l.yimg.com/hr/10374/js/delicious2-fe-us.js"></script>
<!--[if IE]>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://l.yimg.com/hr/10374/js/del-ie.js"></script>
<![endif]-->


which provide the functionality.
I tried the scripts on boo.kmark.it and they popped up an exact copy of the Delicious player.

Oh, and by the way, the old Play Tagge javascript, which is I find more discrete, still works fine. :)

Update: Delicious has confirmed and explained its use of the technology on the official blog, echoed by the Yahoo! Music blog

Just found out on Delicious:

It has controls and a playlist plus a “targetting” symbol.

Did they heavily upgrade the javascript code for playing bookmarked audio files? :?

Yep, they sure did. :)

Ci sono due modi per visualizzare un bookmark su del.icio.us “da solo”:

1. Usare delicious.com/url/
   Questo metodo però presuppone avere già trovato il bookmark e/o disporre del suo indirizzo.
2. In alternativa si può usare la ricerca con la seguente sintassi

   delicious.com/search?context=userposts&p=parolachiave&lc=1&u=nomeutente

   dove ‘parolachiave’ è il termine o sito cercato (presente nel titolo) e a ‘nomeutente’ bisogna sostituire il proprio.

   Esempio: delicious.com/search?context=userposts&p=storytlr&lc=1&u=nicoladagostino

   Variando il valore di lc da 0 a 1 inoltre si dice a del.icio.us se mostrare anche tutti i salvataggi da parte degli altri utenti o solo quelli di ‘nomeutente’
