07/11/15: The Dead Water of del.icio.us
I was reading Mark Evans talking about why del.icio.us can be the next Google.
I have been using del.icio.us indirectly for a while now, mostly as a bookmarks service. I have NucleusCMS blogroll deposits all my links to it to facilitate sharing.
I agreed that del.icio.us indeed has great potential, but it need to come out of coma to be the next great Internet icon.
A re-ramp, if it happens, I would like to see a few things happened.
- a more exciting API to interact w/ the service, maybe with OpenSocial support.
- a "Do you mean this?" function, which suggest to user better tag to use. I believed one of the problems with tags is that there is hard to have the same tag semantic across the board to improve the accurate of a tag.
-a tag/link search on-line or via API.
-a mini-feed feature like in Facebook kinda already done by "your network".
