OK, Ladies and Gentlemen, time for breaking news regarding delicious.com again. Today I recognized - performancing.com readers may not be surprised - that the delicious.com (classical abbreviation: d.i.u) Firefox plug-in accepts more text. The latest plug-in update from the 9th of August in my FF installation now gives me the power to describe a bookmark with up to 1,000 sign.

Accepting 1,000 signs for the description is a strategic important move esp. for bloggers. Below the line d.i.u now opens blogging capabilities to its users. And not even one blog because of the tags assigned to a collection of bookmarks it is possible now to feed a couple of blogs via nicely focused RSS feeds.

Reading the news on blog.delicious.com I discovered a valuable hint regarding the number of items in a delicious.com RSS feed.

We recently limited RSS feeds to 15 items, but you can change that by adding ?count=30 (or up to 100) to the URL.

As the RSS feeds are a very fast source to get an overview about certain topics this possibility will enhance the research experience a lot.

More items in a feed may also be interesting for people who import feed items into their blog.

More notes space coming soon too

Yes, we plan to increase the notes field to 1000 characters. This may not be in place right away after launch, but it’s in the works.

PS: You noticed that del.icio.us is delicious.com now? A great change. Congratulations to the delicious.com team!
