Del.icio.us Daily Blog Posting

Content is king.  The more quality content you manage the more traffic you get.  There are a few methods of creating automated content that seem to be greatly over looked  Here is one:

Del.icio.us:

Del.icio.us has a built in automated tool that allows its users to recieve automated updates to their online bookmarks.

If you login and goto the “Settings” tab and look under Experimental you'll see “daily posting blog.”  Select “add new thingy”

Here are links with detailed instructions on how to configure the “add new thingy”:

WordPress:

Typepad:

HERE IS HOW I did it:

Get the Del.icio.us RSS URL of your choice (orange RSS button located in the bottom left corner).  Copy and paste that code into the RSS Parser of your choice. List of RSS Parsers:

  http://rssxpress.ukoln.ac.uk/ 
  http://www.rssgov.com/rssparsers.html
  http://del.icio.us/tag/rss+parser

 It will take the RSS and crank out HTML with content baked fresh daily as the del.icio.us tag is updated.  With no further work on your part.  What a lazy bastard you are! You are getting new content with no work while everyone else slaves away by copying & pasting and children are still dying in Africa.  If you select a popular tag, it will actually send stuff you haven't seen on CNN, Digg, Slashdot or anywhere else… very entertaining at times.
