Okay, I’ll expend on this topic. Today I learned that [Del.icio.us](http://Del.icio.us) is  
owned by Yahoo! Appearently Yahoo! bought them 10 months ago and I  
missed the news. Well, I won’t have anything to do with Yahoo! They  
cheated me and deleted all my email. So I boycott them and ecourage  
others to do the same every chance I get.

So now I’m in the market for a new bookmark service. So far I’m  
thinking Furl, Simpy, Blogmarks or MarkaBoo. MarkaBoo is of course of  
interest b/c it’s a Ruby/Rails app --not only could I use the service,  
I could contribute to the project. Hence my query.

[http://rubyforge.org/projects/markaboo/](http://rubyforge.org/projects/markaboo/)  
Certainly doesn’t look very active, might want to get in touch with  
them directly as I’m sure they can fill you in more effectively(or  
not which obviously says a lot).

I’ve enjoyed using [ma.gnolia.com](http://ma.gnolia.com). It is also a rails app (but closed  
source).

Don’t let the Rubyforge statistics fool you, we’ve recently been using  
SVK  
for distributed development over Subversion so the checkins are a little  
more rare.  
We’re hard at work on bug fixes, speed improvements, refactoring, and  
testing as well as the all-important search functionality. In truth,  
this  
last feature has taken us twice as long as we expected, but we wanted to  
get  
it right the first time aournd. Feel free to signup for a free account  
and  
kick the tires. We appreciate all feedback, good or bad so feel free to  
let  
us know how we’re doing.

Cheers,  
Christian Romney
