Dogear and Delicious: Cross-posting your enterprise bookmarks (xpost)

| ibm, work

I love sharing my bookmarks. Tagging helps me find things again, and other people tell me they occasionally find useful websites in my collection. Here's a bookmarklet that makes it easy for me to share on our internal Lotus Connections Dogear bookmarking service at work as well as on the del.icio.us bookmarking service outside the firewall. In order to avoid bookmarking internal sites publicly, I check the domain name for the presence of ibm.com. This results in false positives on the external IBM.com domain, but that's okay. It works most of the time.

To use, drag “tag this” to your bookmark bar.

tag this

I've modified the Lotus Connections Dogear script so that it wouldn't show a lot of pop-up warnings on Chrome, which is my default browser.

Enjoy!
