TagMindr - remember the future

Vowels are out of style, so here’s yet another R-enabled web-service! TagMindr reminds you of your del.icio.us bookmarks. Or as they say it rather clear themselves:

We’ll remind you via RSS, SMS, Email or IM, so long as it’s RSS. (SMS, Email and IM coming later.)

All you have to do is adding two tags to the bookmarks you want to be reminded of (being tagmindr and remind:YYYY-MM-DD).

Not sure how useful this is, but at least it’s funny.

deliGoo - Delicious Search Engine

deligoo-logo.gifBookmarking interesting pages with del.icio.us is extremely handy. Not only can you use your bookmarks on any machine that you access, you can also share the bookmarks with your friends and family. Searching can be a bit annoying though.

deliGoo helps you to retrieve the pages you’re looking for, by allowing you to search within the pages itself, rather than just searching by title or tag (or the little description you’ve added). deliGoo describes their service as:

we take the best websites, selected by you and other del.icio.us users,
add a powerful Google search engine and we get a free and easy way to find what we need and exactly where it is!

You basically search the web and restrict the results to only show sites you (or other del.icio.us users) have bookmarked before. Good stuff!

The only downfall is that they want you to install the firefox extension, which is completely unnecessary in my humble opinion. Just go to the search page directly and skip the extension (heck, you can even bookmark that search page in del.icio.us).

Now let’s wait for deliYa, deliClusty, deliMSN and all other search engines!
