del.icio.us
A couple of days back i was looking for an online bookmark manager, i found some really good and free ones but the one that caught my eye was http://del.icio.us . It is a social bookmark manager, what that means is that when you add a new bookmark you can see what category other people have added that link in, you can then see other bookmarks in that category to discover new sites related to the one you are bookmarking. The best thing is that all these categories are available as RSS feeds, so you can subscribe to the feed for that category and whenever anyone adds a bookmark in that category you get notified. Not only that you can subscibe to the most popular bookmarks in a paticular category.
Here is the help that describes the RSS feeds that are available
» del.icio.us offers you many ways to view your own and other people's bookmarks. Understanding how del.icio.us URLs work makes it easier to see exactly the bookmarks you want.» Every user has a unique homepage:del.icio.us/geoffrey
» Tags also have their own pages:del.icio.us/tag/politics
» You can filter bookmarks by user and tag together:del.icio.us/geoffrey/literature
» This will show all bookmarks from user geoffrey tagged as 'literature'.» Use plus signs to combine multiple tags into a tag intersection:del.icio.us/tag/politics+france+history
» This will display only bookmarks that have all three of the tags 'politics', 'france', and 'history'. This also works for user/tag combinations:del.icio.us/geoffrey/literature+english
The interface is a bit spartan with almost no images at all. But the site is fully functional. I've already discovered some cool sites using this. It works in Firefox as well as IE and other browsers via a bookmarklet, pretty easy to setup. This is one cool concept.

Gold mine for bibliophiles...if it is legal?
Came across this link on my local Delhi .Net usegroup, the site has a lot of O'Reilly publications online, FREE! but i am not sure that it is entirely legal, considering that Safari which hosts the same content is a paid service.

Safari is great
Just signed up for Safari Bookshelf, it looks great, they have a great collection of books and since it's difficult to get these books in India i am really excited about this. I had been waiting to read a book Microsoft .Net Remoting but it hasn't been published in India yet and i found it on Safari, just finished reading chapter 1.. :) :) .... Me Happy.

Great article on charcter encoding
Found a great article on charcter encoding and XML on MSDN. It's funny when you realize that what you thought you knew all along isn't what it actually is :) :)
