File your Delicious bookmarks on iPhone with Yummy

Recently I’ve been looking for apps that allows me to accomplish work with my iPhone.

Here’s one task I do on a daily basis:

  1. I get a lot of emails with links from my friends and co-workers.
  2. I file these bookmarks away to my Delicious account so I can share with others.
  3. and I archive those emails.

With 1 and 3, it can all be accomplished with the Mail app. Task 2 is the problem.

The first solution I tried was a free app called Bookmarks. Bookmarks let’s you view and add Delicious bookmarks. The problem is that it won’t present a list of tags you use for Delicious. I don’t remember my tags, so this presents a problem.

Enter Yummy. It’s a paid app for $1.99. And it’s solved the above problem. When adding a bookmark in Yummy, you can load up a list of tags you use on Delicious, and simply select the tags you want for the bookmark. No typing whatsoever!

In a nutshell, what’s so great about Yummy for me
  1. I’m in Safari, I find a site I want to bookmark.
  2. I tap on the bookmark button and tap on “Add Link To Yummy” (see Yummy’s site for details on how this works)
  3. Yummy loads, and a New Bookmark view is loaded with the site info / URL you were looking.
  4. Tap the tag icon to bring up your tags and select the tags you want
  5. Press done, and it’s bookmarked
The only improvement I would wish for right now is to have the tag icon a little bit bigger on the New Bookmark view. Other than that, this is an app I recommend if you file and tag bookmarks to Delicious. Thanks!
