One year developing this new thing called Licorize
A new thing from old things
I had the idea for Licorize while trying to use social bookmarking for tracking my marketing research and ideas while browsing. I tried using Delicious for that, inspired by this Peldi’s post, and it simply didn’t work for me, because I needed to do more. Using tags for both classification (“review”) and types (“to-do”) and sharing with others (“Silvia”) and relevance (“important”) ended up in a mess, also because the old style always-reload-everything Delicious web interface made . Tags are great for… tagging, which means connecting disparate information which belongs to different contexts. But for other uses, we should require specific behavior: a to-do should support a one-click action to make it disappear immediately when done, sharing some and not all bookmarks with others requires a set of features that are alien to tagging, and so on.
