I found this article by googling furl api, since I could find nothing on furl’s home page. Not a word. Maybe it’s there, if so it is a textbook bad design.

Furl.net has a new upgrade released Jan 2007.

Also, there is a new FURL users group:

One difference between the two is their terms of service, in particular items 6 and 7 of furl’s (http://www.furl.net/terms.jsp)

del.icio.us has no TOS that I can find. It’s less functional, but also much less restrictive.

It seems like echo chambers can improve the signal to noise ratio after all. Thanks very much Jon, and i must say those numbers make more sense in terms of the del.ici.ous conversations i have been following.

I believe the lines in the sand in the piece still have some relevance, and are *supported* by your very helpful clarification.

Hi James,

I think you need to quote your search terms. Try:

“del.icio.us api” => 724

and

“furl api” => 0

Cheers,

Jon
