From Newsvine to Delicious

Submitted by rickeyre on July 2, 2010 - 12:16pm

I have decided to deprecate the use of Newsvine as the clippings service on rickeyre.com from 1 July 2010. Any new clippings that I bookmark from that date will be held on delicious.

The reasons include delicious' greater flexibility, configurability, wider user base, and (important) the existence of an API. Delicious is owned these days by Yahoo!, while Newsvine is part the new-media extension of old-media behemoths NBC and the Washington Post.

I've revived the old scrapbook concept that I was using a few years ago, however I've outsourced it to newsvine.com.

I'm using it to link to business and politics-related items about the Cricket World Cup - I figure there will be enough bloggage and reportage of the match play that I can stick to my own niche.

Occasionally there'll be a story which I might want to blog further over here, but for all the clippings, please go to rickeyre.newsvine.com.
