Yes, it's official, we are behind the blogmarks.net service. One of our original motivation was to build an HotLinks for everyone, one other was to build an Atom enabled linkblog service. We've just released our API yesterday.

We're looking for some interactions between the two services. Here's the first : a "copy" button (in the bottom right corner of the HotLinks items) that let you add the link to your blogmarks.

What ? You still don't have a blogmarks.net account ? Create one now morron !

You're a del.icio.us addict ? You really don't want to use "yet another bookmarking service" ? We're fine people. Bertier created fo you hot.icio.us, a greasemonkey script that turn the "copy to blogmarks.net" feature into an "add to del.icio.us" one.

Now just enjoy :)

Bertier just released another extension Popup blogmarks.net posting for Hotlinks that turn the link (add to blogmarks.net) into a popup.

Look for the anchor on the bottom right corner !

    Since the last post on this blog, I added two friends in the contributor list :

    The new screenshot engine is powered by Benfle.com and is based on a Python/VNC/Firefox machinery. It rocks and it's only in beta stage. Thanx Benoît !

    If you want the screenshots back, you can write an XML-RPC web service.

    • method : web.html2png

    with 1 parameter :

    • url

    or 4 parameters :

    • url
    • screen width
    • screen height
    • reduction ratio

    The service must send directly in response a png image. The size is 146px x 109px in our case (1024x768 with 7 as reduction ratio).
