How To Build Your Own Delicious-Style Bookmarking App

I live on the Internet.  I’m on here for 9-10 hours a day.  And inevitably, I come across all sorts of cool sites that I want to save for later.  A lot of times, I pass by them thinking I’ll read them later or maybe this will be a cool project someday.

But I bookmark them, nevertheless.

There are all sorts of tools out there that help people like me.  There’s:

• The Read It Later Firefox Plugin

  This Firefox plugin is great.  I see that now it’ll sync to a server so that you can manage your bookmarks from any browser.  When it was first launched, it would just save to a special folder in your bookmarks.My problem was that you couldn’t add notes…

• Readbag

  Readbag was another goodie I found.  And I used the hell out of it.  There is probably 500 or so bookmarks in there - most of which I have read and want to save.  But now, they’re requiring a fee to save anything more.

  Not that I mind paying - but there is still the ownership issue.  In fact, the system resides on Google’s servers, so you are still at their mercy.  After all, one corporation can only be SO powerful and have SO much data, right?I have gotten very accustomed to the mindset of doing things like this - just ‘cuz I can!

So I ventured off to build my own bookmarking service.  Something that I can use for me.  If other people want to use it as well, that’s cool - but that wasn’t the intent.

Over these next couple posts, I am going to show you how to deploy a completely free bookmarking app on your own server.  It can be the same one that your blog resides on.  And if you’re real ambitious, you can even build your own server out of old components and go from there!

Here’s is my bookmarking site: markbots.com

And if you want a firefox extension for it: Go here

EDIT:  I went ahead and did the tutorial on a different post - but it occurred to me that it should be here too - so below, you’ll find the video!
