My Del.icio.us Network Thinks Like Me May 13, 2006 4 comments
Just the other day I was thinking how nice it would be if I could get my library book due dates into iCal. The library already sends out automated emails reminding you when your books are coming due, that’s a pretty nice starting point. Surely it would be pretty easy using apple mail to setup a rule that creates an iCal event. However, I use Entourage. It wouldn’t be worth the switch, but was probably doable using Entourage and maybe some applescript anyway. I forgot about it.
This morning I was peeping all the links in my del.icio.us network, as I love to do, and low and behold came across a piece of software called Library Books. Ten minutes later, I’ve got an iCal Calendar reminding me when my Library books are due!
I don’t recall how I came across the particular user who added the link of interest, probably a blog I enoyed, but at some point I was interested in what the user was linking and added them to my network. Add enough users who share like interests and over time, the network will actually begin to reflect your very thoughts! Wow, that’s exciting!
