I’ve recently run into the problem of syncing up my bookmarks. Sure there’s delicious but what about my RSS feeds I have bookmarked? I need a way to get my bookmarks from delicious and then agregate my bookmarked RSS feeds that are tagged with the “feed” tag. After a long search for something capable of such a task I found Bottomfeeder. I really was looking for something integrated into Firefox though. Then I pieced together a technique for doing just what I wanted.

I’ve been using a Firefox extension called Sage for feed reading for a few months. It cycles through live bookmarks you have in a certain bookmark folder. I found an extension called Foxylicious which will sync your delicious bookmarks to your local Firefox bookmarks. Then I point Sage to look at the “feeds” bookmark folder and do it’s thing.

Now I can bookmark my RSS feeds on delicious while I’m at work and go home and have the same feeds already to go for me. There’s some problems with this technique of course. First off, when Foxylicious syncs my bookmarks from delicious it deletes the local copy of the bookmarks and creates a new one. Sage is pointed to the deleted copy of the feeds folder so it doesn’t work. I have to go into Sage and tell it to use the new feeds folder instead.
