Packrati.us – send your shared links to Delicious automatically

Have you been sharing links on Twitter and not saving them anywhere else? You soon realize that Twitter does not keep your history forever. So Packrati.us will automatically follow your Twitter feed and bookmark your shared links into your Delicious account (I prefer Diigo for bookmarks however).

You log in via oAuth, and they rely heavily on you merging your Yahoo and Delicious accounts as well. So make sure you have that in place. The FAQ covers it quite well on the site.

This is a great way to keep track. You could even establish an account on Delicious for just your Twitter feed to split shared links from your personal bookmarks. Any way you look at it, pretend it is a backup service for your shared links.

Scoopler – real time search plus more (Flickr, Digg, Delicious)

Scoopler provides more than just a real-time Twitter search since it’s launch in April 2009. It extends out to other social networks. The homepage is a simple search box with trends along the bottom. From their site they talk about how they bring in the data from all over:

We aggregate and organize content being shared on the internet as it happens, like eye-witness reports of breaking news, photos and videos from big events, and links to the hottest memes of the day. We do this by constantly indexing live updates from services including Twitter, Flickr, Digg, Delicious and more.

I tried some sample searches outside of the trends to get a better feel for topics maybe not already in the Scoopler index. I picked the BET Awards since they were going on while wrting this posting. It immediately showed videos down the right (that could be broken down to video, images and links) and a live, scrolling Twitter search in the middle that was updating in real-time.

The left column was still showing recent trends. I would like to see that used for more search results and better screen real estate usage than showing the same from the homepage. At least make it collapsible. You are able to pause the live stream if it is moving too fast to keep up, depending on tweet volume. You can also click to preview and link and share the tweet themselves.

For a longer review, MakeUseOf had a great posting that I found.

Tweecious – add your Twitter links to Delicious

Tweecious is a Firefox extension that allows you to not only send a link into your Twitter stream but also send it to your Delicious (yes I use Diigo more still) bookmarks at the same time.

You will sign into both accounts from this extension and then send your links to both!
