That’s Just… Dim


For some reason, del.icio.us just (intentionally) broke a major piece of their functionality. They no longer file tag subscriptions and user subscriptions into the same bucket, they’ve created a new bin called “your network” (hatehatehate stupid Web 2.0-ism) to hold the user subscriptions. The reason I use del.icio.us in the first place is so that I have less places to check for new stuff. That single inbox feed was a feature and you just broke it.

Response:
One thing that perplexed me was the lack of redirect for my INBOX feed. I mean, this is not rocket science. They could have done that, and added some kind of persistent message saying this feed is being redirected, the old one is deprecated etc. etc. What they did instead may have some excuse, but it's going to create emnity and it smacks of laziness and/or a penny pinching attitude. The only decent thing I found with the new 'My Network' feed is the additional information with each link, indicating which person within my (yawn) 'Network' posted the item.



Slaves are generally expected to sing as well as to work ... I did not, when a slave, understand the deep meanings of those rude, and apparently incoherent songs. I was myself within the circle, so that I neither saw nor heard as those without might see and hear. They told a tale which was then altogether beyond my feeble comprehension: they were tones, loud, long and deep, breathing the prayer and complaint of souls boiling over with the bitterest anguish. Every tone was a testimony against slavery, and a prayer to God for deliverance from chains. -- Frederick Douglass
