organize my del.icio.us tags

http://delicious.isnotworking.com/

a desktop app in any OS that would let me edit things directly for organizing…that’s all

Always more to do. Cleaning it out was, was, just nice.

I got a great amount of satisfaction every time I hit delete or consolidated and eliminated tags.

When I started used del.icio.us I would give items all sorts of tags. Now, I don’t feel compelled to tag something just because I bookmarked it. Some tags I’m quite happy with, such as my ThoughtWorks tag.

Just wondering if anyone knows of any good (preferably online) tools which can help organise del.icio.us tags?

Specifically, I often make typos (“religoin” was a recent one, or I’ll sometimes accidentally put commas after the tag), or will end up with tags like “blog”, “blogs”, and “blogging” – I can’t imagine it would be too difficult to have an application which would detect similar tags, and alert you to them?

Anyone know of such a program? Or am I doomed to doing it manually? (or, perhaps, when I find the time – writing the application myself)

I’ve thought about deleting old links to the main page of popular sites – digg, boing-boing, etc.

I’d love to find an app to cull dead links.

Also, when I delete I’m looking for a picture of what is happening in my links. I’m trying to remove the small stuff or tag it as a novelty item and forget about it.

I’m not sure this task will ever be complete. It’s a process.

I’d love it if digg would auto-post to del.icio.us. Wouldn’t that be cool? Web 3.0 might be when all these web apps start talking properly. Or maybe that’s Web X.XX.

I just took the plunge to start organizing. I deleted and recreated my del.icio.us account; nothing like starting with a clean slate!!

I simplified my tags. I don’t have as many, and I unbundled them all. For some reason it was just complicating things.

The only thing I have left to do is delete a few links, which I can’t seem to do for some reason. I tagged them with “delete,” so I guess I’ll come back later.

Now all I have to do is keep using the system I set up, and hopefully I won’t have to deal with this again.

And I found this really great article. I’m not sure if I agree with all of it – for example, as far as tagging goes, I’m much more interested in a sparse tagging system that makes sense to me. I understand the theory behind liberal tagging, but it’s just too disorganized for me.

Read the article, though. It has a lot of good tips.

I worked on this a little bit today. I unbundled my tags, which was a good start.

Currently, I’m going through my links one by one, deleting all the old tags and adding new ones. I’m writing down the new tags on a Post-It as I go along so they all kind of mesh. Hopefully.
