First ten Trunk.ly followers

December 22nd, 2010 by David Bradley >> 4 Comments

UPDATE: November 2011 Annoyingly, trunk.ly sold out to Avos, the company that bought up delicious. So, if you took their advice and imported you delicious links to the trunk.ly system you now have two months to export them once again (to delicious or some other bookmarking service). Typical.

I’ve been banging on about trunk.ly for several days now. It’s a relatively new service that allows you to aggregate all the links you post on Twitter, Facebook and Delicious. By aggregating them it then provides a nice chronological repository but also indexes the links and the pages to which they point making your archive entirely searchable.

Trunk.ly also has a social element – you can follow and be followed and as promised here’s a shout out to my first ten Trunk.ly followers:

    Thanks so much for posting about this – I agree, this is a fantastic service!

    Over the last week or so I’ve offered the trunk.ly team a few suggestions for improving an already very useful service. Looks like they’re upgrading and implementing my idea* and more:

    Tools to add, edit, delete links.
    Save others link into your own trunk.
    *Search trunk.ly directly from your browser.
    Remove existing connections.

    looks interesting have any of you tried paper.li ? That tool aggregates all your links into a newspaper kinda cool.

    I’m now pulling in my Twitter Favorites feed into trunk.ly. Just to mention you can now import any RSS feed into your trunk.ly database and make it all spiderable and searchable at the next link depth. Incredibly useful for finding stuff related to what you already found.
