Supercharged Post to Del.icio.us bookmarklet
Jed | March 27, 2007I love del.icio.us. I don’t use it as my main bookmarks. I use it to store and categorize anything I see on the web that I want to keep. You can see my last 20 posts by going to my Bookmarks page or see all my bookmarks by going to my del.icio.us page.
I post sites many times a day, and while I appreciated the default bookmarklet provided by del.icio.us, it felt a little underpowered to me. So I added some additional javascript to give it a little more oomf.
Drag the above link into your links toolbar (IE?)(FF?) or right click and say Bookmark this Link (Firefox) or Add to Favorites (IE).
Like the default bookmarklet, the name of the site goes into the bookmark description. But now, in addition, whatever text on the page that you highlight will get added to the notes section. Try it for yourself and see how you like it.
I got the idea from this tip on Lifehacker. Thanks to Adam Pash for the JavaScript snippet that gets the current selection on the page.
