In search of an antisocial social bookmarking system

Internet, Work 10 Comments

Much like my recent struggles with photo-sharing systems1, I find myself currently frustrated (largely by the reliability collapse of Jots.com) with pretty much every social bookmarking service out there. Since the hosted stuff isn’t working out for me, I was thinking that a self-hosted del.icio.us-alike would do the trick. I just have no idea if such a beast currently exists, and my Google-fu is failing me.

Here’s a basic rundown of what I’m looking for: A web-based bookmarking system like del.icio.us only hosted and admin’d by me on my own Linux server. It must also be able to push a day’s-worth of links to my weblog (via xmlrpc, for example). Bookmarklets or a Firefox extension for quickly adding bookmarks would be great but not necessary, and demonstrated integration with WordPress would be ideal.

Is there anything like this out there?

1 I’m currently playing with Zenphoto, if you were curious. It’s quite neat.

    Try Rubric, the base for del.irio.us:

    http://de.lirio.us/code/
    http://search.cpan.org/dist/Rubric/

    or sa.bros.us
    http://sourceforge.net/projects/sabrosus

    HTH

    There was a delicious clone hosted I think at Yale, but not on their domain, and they were making the program available, but I can’t remember what it was called. Anyway:

    http://scuttle.org/ They claim their API resembles lots of del.icio.us’ API so putting it on you blog is possible.

    Scuttle has an open -source application which you can host on your own server
    http://sourceforge.net/projects/scuttle/
    It supports most of the del.icio.us API

    BTW, Jots seems to have gone completely! What a disgrace.
