Babes Against Bush

Given how often I get Google hits for "Republican Babe of the Week" as a result of this post, I thought I should link to this, too. Doubt it will change any minds, but I can hope.

del.icio.us: social bookmarking

The front page is getting noisier and noisier, so check it out soon and find the others you'd like to subscribe to. It will be interesting to watch this evolve. I can't decide whether a rich client interface would be worth hacking or not. The API should make that simple to do. However, the existing bookmarklets make it pretty painless. I would like to plug it into my blog so that my bookmarks get posted here daily, too.

Thanks to Joi for the pointer.

If you want to subscribe to my bookmarks, I'm coty on Delicious.

OmniWeb 5.0 Preview

Only screenshots for now, but a public beta is reportedly planned for February 2. I, for one, cannot wait. Though the feature that will probably get the most attention is OmniGroup's implementation of tabs, I'm most excited about workspaces. The scenario that they describe where you have lots of unread pages open and need to reboot is one that happens to me often and is a pain. I've written AppleScripts for OmniWeb and Safari that I use to save my state, but neither is optimal. I'd really like to see this feature extended to maintain an automatically updated checkpoint workspace. Site Preferences looks good. I'm not sure I get how RSS newsfeeds will integrate into bookmarks.

Really, it all looks good and suggests that browser innovation is not dead--as long as your browser isn't IE. jshell at Industrie Toulouse writes that "OmniWeb 5 looks like a release I'd actually pay money for." I'm glad I paid for OmniWeb 4.5, and I have my $9.95 ready to upgrade whenever I can.
