Neat Delicious trick – keywords combination

The real beauty of Delicious lies in keywords combinations.

I mentioned already that Delicious is my #2 most favorite productivity tool. Within time I developed a set of the most frequently-used keywords in the right column that can be combined with tags in the left column:

"hudson" - Mailing list - "ml"
"spring" - Issue tracker - "jira"
"ant" - API documentation - "api"
"jfrog" - Documentation - "doc"
"groovy" - Maven repository - "repo"
"maven" - Source code browsing - "code"


Now with a "d"-keyworded Delicious search I only need to type "d spring api" to get to

Lots of other useful combinations are also available:

"groovy ml" "hudson ml" "spring ml" "maven ml" "jfrog ml"
"groovy jira" "hudson jira" "spring jira" "gmaven jira" "jfrog jira"
"groovy api" "java api" "spring api" "maven api" "apache api"
"java7 doc" "java doc" "spring doc" "css doc" "html doc"
"groovy repo" "hudson repo" "apache repo" "plugins repo" "jfrog repo"
"groovy code" "hudson code" "spring code" "gmaven code" "groovypp code"


So jumping to a mailing list or API documentation for X is just a matter of "d X ml" or "d X api". Fast!

    Really nice trick! Or maybe not a trick, but a nice formal way of storing api page links etc. to delicious in a way that they can be found easily. Delicious has been my favorite tool for a long time, but I’ve never actually thought about how to make the tags actually useful.

    BTW, could you please display the “publication” date with year in your blog template. I guess this post was not published this year, or even last year, but it’s impossible to know as only “26 Aug” is displayed. :)

    Cheers,
    Antti

    • Yes, it works very nicely, although I use Pinboard lately. Glad you liked it.

      As for displaying the year I’m afraid it’s not supported by the current theme. Good point indeed. I’ll keep it in mind if I ever switch theme. Thanks for mentioning it!
