Add Del.icio.us to your Facebook

I know I've been posting alot of Facebook related stuff lately but the things I've been posting are relevant to me and the most helpful stuff I've found recently.Can you believe it, you can now add your Del.icio.us bookmarks to your Facebook Profile page?I know, it's amazing. Surprisingly only Gino and Rafiq are currently using the app in my friends.This sort of App is making me regain my involvement and "faith" in Facebook. I am tired of the excessive amount of spam and apps that appear on Facebook now. But with the discovery of the Flickr app and now the Del.icio.us app I am definitely interested again.Add the Del.icio.us app here.

Why can't del.icio.us and Flickr remember my login?

I have a gripe with Flickr and del.icio.us. Why can these two sites not log me in automatically or at the very least remember what my username and password are? I have all the plugins, add-ons, hook-ups, screw-ups, updates, down-dates, downloads and everything in between. Hell, I watch these sites like a hawk for new versions and upgrades.At the moment through Firefox I am running the nifty built in del.icio.us plugin that shows me all my saved sites through del.icio.us. The only problem is that to tag a site for del.icio.us or to view any of my bookmarks I need to login. To login I actually need to visit the del.icio.us site and physically type in my details and login. Do me a favour and remember my login.

Next is flickr, I have had this issue with flickr for a while. Firstly you have to have a Yahoo! login to use the service, I wonder how many people are deterred from the site due to this? I can image there are a few. Then, every time I want to make us of the actual flickr site, check my groups, friend, photos or comments I need to login. I have recently upgraded to a pro account with flickr, for my $25 dollars or whatever it was for the year, can this site not just remember my login?Now I can feel you flickrholics itching to tell me that you have noticed that flickr now provides an option on login to sign in for up to 2 weeks and remain logged in. What a load of hogwash. That has yet to work for me. Does that mean that I need to keep my browser open for 2 weeks for this service to work? Someone please explain this to me.These are two incredible services that have changed my online activity like no others, but please do me a favour and remember details. Seriously.
