First Look: Blinklist
Posted by Stowe Boyd
A comment in a recent post alerted me to YAW2.0A (Yet-Another-Web-2.0-App -- yes, it was bound to happen) called Blinklist. At first glance, it looks like del.icio.us meets Ajax, with a number of cool tag cloud options.
I imported my del.icio.us bookmarks with no hiccups, although the default is to make all bookmarks private. There is a 'powertool' to turn them all public, which I did. Then I hit a snag that stopped me in my tracks. While all my tags were imported without a warning, all the compound tags I have created with a "+" in them, like "Fred+Wilson", don't work. If you click on one you get a "can't find 'Fred Wilson'" messgae, where the "+" has been turned into a " ". That's a show stopper for me. I am not going to manually hack all those plus signs into something else, and I hate the wikiword style of mushing words together.
Other things look good, like RSS export, sharing with people, organizing bookmarks into groups, and more.
I hope they fix this so I can try a real experiment for a week or so.

Hi Stowe,
Thanks for checking out BlinkList and for alerting us to the bug that you found with the importing tool for delicious. I did not know that people created compound tags the way that you describe. However, we have added it to the bug list and will hopefully get it taken care off soon. Mike
