Cocoalicious and Scuttle
If you’re as much of a del.icio.us addict as I am, you may have noticed that someone finally got around to releasing Scuttle, an open source, self hosted del.icio.us clone, a few days ago. I’d been waiting for this to happen for sometime, so that people could take advantage of a feature I put into Cocoalicious a little while ago: the ability to set the API URL prefix to something other than “http://del.icio.us/api/” (in the preferences window).
I put in a feature request for a del.icio.us API implementation on the project’s SourceForge page, and to their credit, the developers claim to have already knocked one out. So now Scuttle users should be able to set the API URL in Cocoalicious to the Scuttle installation on their own server and get all the same benefits as del.icio.us users.
I haven’t tried it out yet, but I think it should be a pretty cool thing for both projects.

Yay! Private tagged bookmarks for all! It was the number one issue brought up whenever I introduced folks to del.icio.us.

In fact, a different Jason is responsible for that.

Microformats and do-it-yourself vertical search aggregation
Vertical search aggregation allows sites to become known for particular topics and attain search engine visibility. To this end, it uses microformats as a glue to integrate blogging and folksonomy tagging.

Did you ever get Cocoalicious to work with Scuttle? When I try, Cocoalicious doesn’t do give me any data…

I had a problem with Cocoalicious and Scuttle too, but I think I figured out what’s going wrong.
The problem is that Scuttle sometimes updates its internal timestamp even though it fails to retrieve the list of posts. And once the timestamp says it was updated a minute ago, that means it will fail to retrieve your posts until the end of time.
So the workaround, of course, is to delete “~/Library/Application Support/Cocoalicious/[username]/*” so that it can fully reload its database the next time you refresh.
