one great idea, two lousy implementations

I'd link to del.icio.us, which is an online bookmarks manager that I've been playing with and quite liking, only there'd be no point. It fails to load at least as often as it works. My guess is that their server/s is/are badly overloaded. What good is a bookmark service that works half the time?

Next I'm going to try spurl, which even allows you to interface with del.icio.us (when it's working, that is). It doesn't seem to be much more reliable at first glance though. Right now it's churning away trying to load in the next browser tab, but not getting anywhere. Oh wait -- it's finally loaded. Well, better that than timing out like del.icio.us, but it's still not much use if I just want to grab a bookmark and move on without having to wait for something else to load.

Dammit, until I played with these things I didn't even know I wanted an online bookmarks manager. Bah.
