del.icio.us To Become A Social Network

Posted in News at 10:48 pm by Paloma Cruz

Read/Write Web reports that del.icio.us Plans To Become A Social Network:

I recently interviewed del.icio.us founder Joshua Schachter, who is now with Yahoo after the popular social bookmarking service was acquired last December. Joshua was recently named as top innovator of the year by MIT Technology Review Magazine. Tagging is one example of an innovation that del.icio.us pioneered (at least in its current form). Joshua told me that “del.icio.us was the first app to showcase tagging” and that now “practically everyone uses tags in the [del.icio.us] system in some form.”

I love del.icio.us and look forward to trying out the new features when they become available.

keep track

Posted in General at 12:14 am by Paloma Cruz

Two good tools to pass along:

Why should you care?

Track your daily thoughts, dreams, and activities!

  • Understand your life!
  • Create as many logbooks as you want.
  • Edit and update on the fly with no page refreshes.
  • Use tags to group your logbooks together.
  • Add log entries to your goals via Joe’s Goals.

Then…

Achieve your goals!

  • Get control of your life!
  • Have as many goals as you want.
  • Place multiple checks on the same goal for those extra-productive days.
  • Share your progress with your friends.
  • Use negative goals to track your vices.
  • Keep track of your progress by watching your daily score.
  • Add notes via Joe’s Logbook to track your successes and failures

I’m not the organized type, but I know others strive for an organized life. These tools might actually help. (Found via LifeHacker posts.)
