A little Cocoa Warms a Cold Winter Mac
Jeff's Tips2005 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.
