Contentious » Furl and Del.icio.us: Almost Perfect Together
This blog post outlines one workflow for using Furl and del.icio.us togther, treating Furl as a personal archive and del.icio.us as a way of sharing resources. It’s an interesting reflection of the strengths and limitations of each tool: Furl is certainly a better option for archiving and retrieval purposes, while del.icio.us is far more powerful as a social and collaborative tool. It’s also a reminder of why Spurl is uniquely valuable for its combination of archiving and sharing functions: by facilitating both personal archiving and social bookmarking via del.icio.us, it allows personal information management to be integrated with collaboration. This seems like a much more realistic way of making collaboration a natural part of workflow, since it makes sharing a byproduct of work effort rather than another item on the to-do list.
