[...] So I was very pleased to discover (via Simon Willison, and a twitter post from Drew) Nat Downe’s snafflr script, which will check a specified list of delicious accounts and post links with a certain tag to another account. And so it is that so long as I tag items correctly, a cron job will find the links I want to add to this blog, and once a day they’ll be posted for me using delicious’ own blogging support. [...]

“in order to see the recommended links you have to be logged in”

del.icio.us gives you an rss feed for the for:user page so in about five minutes you could write a PHP/Perl/Python/whatever page which just merges the feeds from the torchbox account and the for:torchbox page

That would seem like a more elegant solution.

This is great thanks: I’ve been struggling with the same problem.

I ended up using Pukka on my iBook to post to different accounts, which is almost there, but as far as I can tell there’s nothing similar for the Windows box I use at work.

The del.icio.us network feature has the ability to add other accounts to your network, posting then gives you the opportunity to privately links to the people on your network. This didn’t really solve my problem because in order to see the recommended links you have to be logged in to that account. I needed to have any links added to be publicly accessible to avoid the hassle of logging out and back in again, both to post and see what others had posted.

Hey Nat,

This is very cool and one of the reasons I love python, the ability to iteratively concoct a script which scratches one particular itch pretty well.

Are you aware of delicious’ network feature which allows you to bookmark a URL and specify it’s intended for someone in your network. You could add the torchbox account to your network and do away with the need for a script completely.

Brilliant! Just what I need. Thanks, Nat!

I am curious as to why the for:xyz tagging that delicious provides does obviously not solve all of your needs.

What part am I not seeing ;]]
