So, after my last post about Delicious Library there are a few clarifications that I'd like to make. So, when I talk about posting the content that I add in Library to my blog, I'm not just talking about modifying the XML template that Movable Type uses to render my main blog page. Rather, I'm talking about spinning up a separate blog (a "stuff" blog), and having Delicious Library post directly to that. Then, insofar as I understand, there are ways in which you can integrate multiple blogs into one main page.
Looking at the Delicious Library XML data file, it seems like the main challenges will be harvesting out only the entries that are "new" since the last time the integration was run, and triggering the integration in an automated fashion. I think that the integration is either going to need to keep some local state (date/time of last successful run), or possibly it might be able to examine the state of the blog that it is posting to, in order to figure out which items in Library are new.
In terms of automation, it would be idea if Library had some sort of plugin API. I haven't looked too deeply at it yet, but it doesn't seem like there is one. :(
I am intrigued by Justin's idea -- of making library P2P-aware. There is definitely some fertile development ground there. But right now, I am feeling selfish, and want to work on getting Library integrated with my blog. :)
I read a kick-ass review of Library last night on Ars Technica (John Siracusa is totally awesome). Initially, I was thinking about only buying Library if I could get it integrated with my blog, but now after reading that, I think I'm just going to buy it regardless.
