Netvibes + del.icio.us = easy toread list

As I am surfing, I will come across sites that I want to read, but not at that particular moment. My system for tracking those links involves del.icio.us and my Netvibes homepage.

  1. Any page that I want to save to come back to later, I will bookmark it in del.icio.us as normal (if I want to save the bookmark after I read it later, I will add the appropriate tags), but I will also add a toread tag
  2. Add a del.icio.us widget to your netvibes page (Add Content -> Applications -> del.icio.us)
  3. Hit the edit link for that widget, entering your login information for del.icio.us
  4. Once the widget is connecting to your del.icio.us account, click on the My Tags link, find your toread tag and select it. (Note: You might have to change the number of tags in the widget setting in order to find the right tag)
  5. Voila! You should have a live, automatic updating To Read list on your Netvibes homepage.

You could also use this to track links that you have bookmarked and tagged for individual projects or for follow up. If you have your own hacks, leave a comment below!
