Deletious
Well, this has to be the quickest I’ve ever gone from idea to publishable (albeit limited functionality) website.
Deletious is my new site for simultaneously viewing a page bookmarked in Delicious and deciding whether to keep or delete the bookmark. I’ve had quite a lot of fun using it the last few days, rediscovering all sorts of articles, games, tools and other long forgotten sites. As well as wasting a lot of time reacquainting myself with all these I’ve also managed to de-clutter my Delicious account; all the CSS articles from 2-3 years ago giving an introduction to topics I now know inside out are gone from my bookmarks, as are all those gimmicky websites I can’t believe i found funny at one time.
Disappointingly, I’m having problems uploading the logo to the website’s folder, but it’ll be sorted sometime soon I hope.
So please do give it a go and let me know what you think.
EDIT – There’s a bug that pops up every now and then (something to do with caching) which leads Deletious to show zero bookmarks for your account. I’ll fix the bug when I get time, but waiting a few hours seems to clear the cache (at least, it works for my account) and then you can access your bookmarks again.

I tried to login this morning and try it out, but after login I get page cannot be displayed. It’s trying to take me to http://localhost/deletious/ I think there is a URL location you missed in your config.
Cheers stephen – I’ve fixed that now. I’ve been adding incremental improvements every few days and forgot to change the root url in the config last time.
My delicious is linked with my yahoo and i failed to login. any workaround on this?
Thanks for letting me know about the issue. I’ll work on a solution over the next few days though don’t really know where to start so may take a while.
This is pretty awesome. I’ve been using delicious long enough that I’ve got a lot of junk stored there.

The service doesnt find any bookmarks on any of my Delicious accounts :(
I’ve tried logging-in three times, and all three state I don’t have any bookmarks (yet I have over 1200).
Nice idea, though.
i use Firefox on a Mac. I also have tons of sites and when I tried the Login it said I had nothing. Help!
Thank you all for the bug reporting. I’ll hopefully get time to look into it this weekend, although luckily it is an occasional bug (it sometimes happens to me) rather than something that happens for every user all the time.
As I noted above, waiting a few hours gives the application time to clear the cache and in most (?all) cases this is enough to allow you to log-in and use deletious.
