Pasta is a tool developed by Maciej Cegłowski to paste text in del.icio.us. It is extremely useful for keeping track of notes jotted down quickly or of stray links associated only through a random idea.

In case you do not know, del.ico.us is a web based social bookmarking application. (Similar to flickr). It is winning new converts every day.

Del.ico.us was developed by Joshua Schachter. (Joshua Schachter and Maciej Cegłowski had also co-developed LOAF)

I had been wasting an enormous amount of time on del.icio.us for the last couple of months. It is both an obvious and a blindingly brilliant idea! Very addictive ...

This post from July 2004 by Clay Shirky (via Manageability) mentions a whole bunch of applications that started with the same basic idea. But looking at the Internet landscape now, it is obvious that del.ico.us won hands down.

Peter Merholz in this article called Metadata for the masses provides a terrific context for a conversation on this subject. Peter's weblog is a good place for tracking conversations on this subject (or what he calls 'ethnoclassification').

I had been struggling with the idea of a personal schema for quite some time now. This, kind of ties into that.
