This is one of those found be serendipity things, what happens when you just freely poke around the web. Maybe it is obvious to many others, but it's new to me. Some folks rely on technorati for taking a pulse...

Alan,

Thanks for your tool and for these interesting comments.

Please note you can monitor the MultiTool using the RSS provided by Durl - http://tools.waglo.com/durl/http://cogdogblog.com/alan/marklet_maker.php

Also, even the results are partial, it is interesting to see the MultiTool Conversation Seed at BlogPulse - http://showcase.blogpulse.com/conversation?max_results=100&link=http://cogdogblog.com/alan/marklet_maker.php

I am not exactly sure what you mean Marshall by "he furl window comes up w/o title or url in it"- if you mean when you are doing your bookmarking, it might be because we web site is in frames-- the JavaScript may not be able to pluck the ifno out of a framed web page.

And all of these are temporal, so I would not be confident that they will not go up in smoke someday.

Thanks Carmen too! I had not seen durl in a while, but it has a lot going for it, many more tools for digging out tidbits of link details. And BlogPulse picked up many more references than I got via Trackbacks...

Alan, thanks for your response. What I mean is that when I click on your tool in my toolbar, the delicious window opens just fine, but half the time the Furl window opens without the title of the page to be bookmarked or its url in the furl fields where they should appear. if I close the furl window that your tool popped up and open just the furl it! tool by itself then the title and url do appear. I don't know that it has anything to do with frames, but I'll try to pay attention to wether that's the case or not. It's a problem with about 50% of the pages i try to bookmark with your tool, which is a bummer, because I love what you did. I'm just not able to use it right now. Any further feedback would be great.

Marshall,

I can not even guess your Furl issue without knowing what web browser/version/ opeating system you use and a web site that exhibits the behavior. It is possible it is a browser issue, as JavaScript is not 100% reliable across the array of browsers/versions/and phases of the moon.
