Is it really delicious?

Continuing my goal to remain years behind the rest of the geeks, I finally got around to trying out del.icio.us this evening. What led to such madness? Netvibes accounced support for a delicious module. Otherwise… who knows when I would’ve tried it?
First impression? Awesome concept. FUGLY implementation! Lol, I don’t mean to be harsh here, but dayum… it is ugly. But hey, it is also very slick and responsive, so I’m gonna give it a try for a while. It sounds squirrely, but I like the little “drag me to your bookmarks bar” links you get too. I see there’s a firefox extension as well. Going to try that out too I suppose.
I’ve been using Netvibes’ little “webnote” module to keep track of links and stuff. Before that I used oneNote. The key is what’s the quickest way to make a note of it and review later when I have more time? Some of those links I’ll blog about. But not all of ‘em. Some just linger forever and are sometimes referenced. I use too many machines to even toy with bookmarks. Although to some extent, Netvibes helps there too…
Wonder if it makes sense to add a “blogMe” tag to my tags?

If you want a different or better UI for your bookmarking service, look at Simpy. People regularly email positive comments about its UI. You can also save notes with Simpy…. it sounds like need that (oneNote reference).
Along similar lines, http://www.furl.net/ is yet another social bookmarking site that is a bit prettier than del.icio.us. Unfortunatly, they implemented the site in Java. Needless to say it can be pretty damn slow at times. I’ve tried both furl and del.icio.us and neither became part of my browsing routing. I’ll take a gander at net vibes and see if that fits, althought I don’t really know what I’m looking for
Peter: Java doesn’t have much to do with slowness there (Java == slow == myth), but the truth IS that Furl hasn’t been improved since Looksmart bought it from Mike Giles, the original creator.
