Spurl.net verðlaunað
Spurl.net var valin einn af þrem bestu bókamerkjavefjunum í svokölluðum Web2.0 awards, sem veitt voru á þriðjudaginn. Það er fín umsögn um okkur þarna og svona. Til að finna hana þarf að smella á “Bookmarking” í listanum yfir “Award categories” og þá hoppar síðan niður í okkar flokk. Gaman að þes...

Displaying your Spurl.net bookmarks on your own page
I was playing with this new blog’s template. I had actually forgotten how incredibly easy it is to include your own bookmarks in your own page, complete with folders and everything. The following assumes that you are a Spurl.net user and make note that it will only show the links that you’ve chos...

4 milljónir bókamerkja á Spurl.net
Í gær dúkkaði 4 milljónasta “spurlið” upp á bókamerkjaþjónustunni okkar, Spurl.net. Það er innan við ár síðan þau voru bara milljón og ekki einu sinni 3 mánuðir síðan þau voru 3 milljónir. Núna er okkar helsta vandamál að höndla öll þessi gögn þannig að allir séu samt ánægðir með hraðann og gæðin...

With the upgrade last week, user forums were added to Spurl.net‘s help section. From now on, discussions on Spurl.net development, support requests, bug reports and announcements will be there, as that format serves the purpose much better. Please join in the discussions there.

Multiple categories and other updates
The last few days have been spent on some good rearrangements. Most of them will not really show on the surface, but here are some of the changes you might have noticed: It is now possible to put a spurled page in more than one category at once (press the “multiple” link in the Advanced […]

Spurl.net – Del.icio.us integration / Spurl.net API
In response to requests for further interoperability, I’ve made a couple of minor upgrades to Spurl.net: Del.icio.us integration: Current users of del.icio.us can now fill in their del.icio.us user information at Spurl’s My profile page (if you’re redirected to the homepage you need to log in) to...

Most visited spurls and export
I’ve made two improvements on “My spurls”. Both improve the usefulness of the My spurls page quite a lot and are the first steps in a major upgrade I’m doing to that ppart of Spurl.net in general (including the search functionality). Most visited Spurls: Spurl now counts every time you click a li...

The Spurl.net philosophy
“Tell me what you read and I shall tell you what you are.” is an anonymous proverb. While I have no intentions to use Spurl.net to tell you who you are, the proverb highlights how important the information we consume is. Every day we take in a lot of information from a variety of sources. […]

Storing pages and searching full text
Spurl.net now allows users to store a copy of spurled pages. Use the “Advanced” tab of the spurl! window, and choose “Store / Yes”. When a page is stored, Spurl.net also indexes the entire text of the spurled page and thereby allows users to later search for any piece of text on pages that they […]

Server outage
This looks bad. Second outage in 4 days. This time it is my hosting company that is not doing their job. I just spoke with support and the problem is being taken care of, although they couldn’t say when it would be up and running again. I am looking at different hosting options that will […]

As you have probably noticed, there has been an upsurge of usage from Italy over the past 3-4 days. Welcome! A lot of Italian bloggers have put the Click to Spurl button on their pages, and others are syndicating the lists either using the Javascript method or the RSS feed. Spurl lists of the Ita...

I’m sorry for any inconveniece this may have caused, but I did not know on beforehand that this upgrade would cause any downtime.

Your spurl beam
I added a little pet feature this morning. I call it a “spurl beam”. It is basically a timeline showing the pages that you have spurled. It may not have a lot of practical value, but it is kind of cool. It shows what is floating through one’s head at the time. To make your […]

RSS feeds for related pages and search results
I added two features today that are natural extensions of the “search” and “related pages” functionality, namely to syndicate these results as RSS feeds. Simply go to the search or related pages, perform the search you want to do or click the related icon () next to any webpage in the spurl lists...

Comments from blocked text and upload bookmarks
Two notable upgrades in the last couple of days: If you block a part of the text on a webpage before clicking the spurl! button, that text will be automatically used as the text for the comment for that page (see the “Advanced” tab in the spurl! window). This improves the usability of the comment...

Search functionality
Just added a search function to search for entries in the entire Spurl.net database. This first version is very simple. It simply searches: the spurl title the url all user comments and the description …for a search string match. The search is not limited to whole words, so searching e.g. for “in...

Add a “Click to spurl” button to your page
You can now put a “Click to spurl” button on your webpages or blogs. It’s a single line of Javascript that you put in the code of any page where you want the button to be displayed. The button looks like this: The grey area will show the number of users that have spurled the […]

Spurl from RSS feeds and a new list
Two minor updates today. Those of you that are using RSS readers of some sort (I for one use NewzCrawler) – you can now spurl a link directly from the feed, so it saves you one trip to the browser if you know the page or site already. You can also open a Related search […]

Javascript lists improved
Improved on yesterday’s syndication list builder and made the Javascript list a lot more flexible. You can now include the date the page was spurled and your comments or the description for the page either as a text in the list or on a mouseover. See the builder for details (requires login). You ...

Syndication list builder added
Added a listbuilder (login required) for the RSS and Javascript syndication lists today. The builder makes it easy to customize the lists and helps the not-too-savvy users to use the syndication features as well. Plus, it decreases the odds of errors in the syndication tags. I will add some forma...

I like! becomes spurl.net
As you might have noticed, I like! just got a new home. Spurl.net is the address and I believe I managed exactly 0 minutes of downtime during the switch, so you shouldn’t have experienced any trouble in the meantime. There are two main reasons for the switch: The old URL wasn’t all too easy to […]
