Another development in the world of social bookmarks. de.lirio.us at first glance appears to be a shameless knockoff of del.icio.us, but aims to be more. While it’s based on perl, as is del.icio.us, it uses Rubric and not HTML::Mason. I was excited to find that the source is available, and this combines with Scuttle’s source and makes for interesting reading today. Joshua Schachter reportedly uses Mason for del.icio.us, and I’m interested in seeing how, if de.lirio.us takes off, it will handle the load. One of the key differences I see in de.lirio.us is the addition of a special field to entries to allow for even more extended notes. The extra field allows some HTML to be included, I’m in the process of discovering how much since it isn’t published anywhere on the site.
My biggest disappointment with de.lirio.us is the added url cruft with */rubric/*. It’s going to be interesting to see the site unfold. I can’t be too hard on it, with it being less than 48 hours old. Interestingly, I see not a peep about the new generation of imitators at the del.icio.us-discuss mailing list archives, but I suppose they’re not going to have an impact until they hit the knee of the exponential growth. They’re busy talking about the new style of visualizing how many other people have bookmarked a link in the new interface.
