More Bookmarks RSS Goodness
As I wrote earlier, I’ve been hacking on Bookmark4u–a web-based bookmarking app that I personally find more useful than Furl–to export bookmarks as RSS. With help from Gavin from the bm4u mailing list, I can now export bookmarks and use the parent folder name as the category/topic name. So far it doesn’t build a whole tree, so deeply nested folders only get the parent folder name. For example, a bookmark in Root/EdTech/RSS/Aggregators/Windows/Free would list only Free as the category, which might be pretty useless depending on how your bookmarks are structured.
Nevertheless, I’m pretty happy with this functionality and would like to have the RSS automagically generated without having to go through the export process. I reckon I’ll have to poke around some blog code to see how it’s done.
Update I tried adding the date field, which seems to have temporarily broken it–only 84 of 528 bookmarks are showing up. I’ll have to validate and see what’s up with that.
