This is really nice. I’ve had a quick play today and it has better functionality that some dedicated apps I’ve used. There’s lots of JavaScript cleverness going on behind the scenes as per normal with the latest batch of google tools. Go have a play.

This must have only just happened, but when I posted a link to del.icio.us this evening they have changed the screen I’m greeted with. They have joined the *buzz word alert* DHTML revolution and added the Google Suggest like functionality when you come to add keywords for that entry. I say like as I don’t think they are actually getting the information from the sever but are just looking through the list of tags displayed on the page already and are using that information to decide which tags to suggest you use. This is a feature I have wished for for a while and will make tagging links much easier and more accurate.

It actually looks like a lot of work has been going on behind the scenes at del.icio.us, I will hunt further and post about it if I find anything of use.

Even though I live in the UK, I have been playing with Google Maps since it’s new beta release. What a really clever bit of coding. It uses javscript and much use of the XMLHttpRequest object to access all the XML information in the background.

If the UK gets added to this mapping system, Muiltimap and Streetmap watch out!

A work collegue of mine Matt Biddulph has written another great ‘toy’. This uses the Porter Stemming Algorithm to search through your del.icio.us tags and find words with the same English word stem. This proved highly useful for me and I’m sure will be to others that are terribel typers and spellers. Thanks.
