- A little Cocoa Warms a Cold Winter Mac
-
2005 is bound to going down in the history of tech as one of those incredible years where all the right things just started showing up in our world. A digital equivalent of the old adage: "When the student is ready, the teacher will appear". It seems like just about every week, a new product or service is announced that fundamentally changes the way we do things both on and offline. I plan on doing a full recap sometime in December discussing some of these major changes but in the meantime, I came across an application today, that although I've heard it's name before, I didn't really grok exactly what it did.
Sometime in 2004, I started using Del.icio.us pretty much full time as my tool of choice for keeping track of my bookmarks. Since I tend to work on multiple machines made Del.icio.us an attractive proposition. These days, I use it countless times each day and have only grown more fond of it. Along those lines, I landed on the page of Cocoalicious which is essentially a Cocoa application that interfaces with Del.icio.us and allows you to search your bookmarks, index them in addition to posting and using tag completion. This may seem contradictory since Del.icio.us is a web 2.0 application to want to use a desktop app to interface with it, however since all of your data still resides serverside, I see as a way to use the service even faster from the comfort of a Cocoa application written by none other than the author of Podworks.
