Tookmark : Daily Email Reminders for Your Delicious Bookmarks
Tookmark is a simple service that sends you email reminders for your Delicious bookmarks.
Tookmark is a little side project I’ve been working on which is a simple email reminder service for your Delicious bookmarks.
I’ve used Delicious for several years now and one of the main things I use it for is tagging articles that I want to read or blog about later. The problem was that I would always forget to go back to Delicious to review the bookmarks I tagged “toread” or “toblog” and by the time I did, they were either outdated or no longer relevant.
I created Tookmark as a simple way to get those bookmarks I wanted to be reminded about in the one place I’m always sure to check—my inbox.
A sample email.
Tookmark works by reading your public RSS feed for the tags you specify and sends you one email a day with the last 25 links added to those tags. Whether you want to be reminded about articles to read, links to post to your blog, a shopping list or YouTube videos to watch, you can have them in your inbox with Tookmark. It even caches your last email so that you don’t get the same email everyday. It will only send you an email if something has been added, removed or changed within your specified tags.
Judging by the hundreds of thousands of bookmarks tagged “toread” and “toblog” on Delcicious, I thought others might find this useful as well and decided to release it to the public.
It’s simple to use and simple to sign-up for. No username or password required. So if you want to be reminded of your Delicious bookmarks by email, you can read a little more about it or try out Tookmark for yourself and let me know what you think.

E-mail is Not a Platform for Design »
Jeffery Zeldman makes an argument for why “designed” e-mails should cease to exist and goes so far as to label designers who use it as giving us all a bad name. His argument is a little near-sighted and ignores the reality of today’s market place. Permission based HTML e-mail, is not only valid, but extremely effective.
