Sharing Websites with Del.icio.us? Not This Week You’re Not
12.20.06Update: Three cheers for team Del.icio.us - this problem has been fixed!
While Del.icio.us is getting some much deserved credit for the release of an intriguing looking API today, one of the most standard and valuable features of the system hasn't been working all week. Specifically, none of the tags applied by users have been updated for 3 days! This means that if you are subscribed to a particular tag, you're not getting updates. If you go to a tag page to see what the most recent items given a particular tag have been - you'll see that there's nothing new for the past 3 days on any tag.
Del.icio.us Popular is still working, but I hope that the individually tagged items will get fixed asap. It's an important line of communication for many distributed groups and the last 3 days have been a real loss.
Apparently this is news to the team at Del.icio.us. The most recent comment on the official Del.icio.us blog is from site founder Joshua Schachter, in response to a previous commenter complaining about the problem:
"This shouldn't be happening, please send a bug description (what urls are are stuck, your userid, etc) to joshua at del.icio.us via email...

Good to hear! Goodness knows I feel silly emailing links to people all afternoon. This and all your other work are much appreciated.

No worries, just contact me directly. I spent a while investigating some other bug. Oops.

No wonder I was having problems with this week’s nptech summary! I thought people were slacking off for the holidays.

Hmm, but my “blogs that link here” link isn’t working as it should either…

[…] Now iTunes has been asleep at the wheel and hasn’t captured any new podcasts from many feeds for more than a week. Dave Winer posted on this after a reader left a comment on his blog and Libsyn, a major podcast hosting vendor, wrote today that Apple tells them that the problem should be solved tomorrow. Like Del.icio.us’s failure to update the feeds from tags for a week earlier this month, our widespread dependence on iTunes for podcast capture leaves many of us in quite a vulnerable position. I listen to podcasts regularly, but to be honest I hadn’t noticed that none of my feeds in iTunes hadn’t been updated. Note: It looks now like a handful of feeds in my iTunes are updating, specifically for example Wall Strip and the 501c3Cast. […]
