FURL & RAW Links
R. Alex Whitlock
On Kevin's
recommendation, I set up an account with FURL. While I don't have anything fancy like RSS going for me right now, you can access it by way of the link on the menu to the left.
Installation was easy enough and the interface is a snap (with FireFox, anyway). The only problem I've had thus far is it hanging while the interface loads, but I think that has more to do with my Internet connection than anything else.
I've put a few links up while to test it. I've been harvesting stories to consider posting on at a later date, so I put those up. I have a handful of others at work that I will put up tomorrow. It's just a test-run. In the future, it'll likely be more timely stuff. The kind of thing that used to go into RAW Links, which incidentally is changing formats informally from current events-based to linking to essays and things like that. Some sort of formal change is in the works once I get what I want nailed down, but FURL fits in wonderfully with that change!
Observations
Glad you're using it! I just love that it files a personal archival copy. That's SO useful.
If you have thinks you're just wanting to save for later use, I also like the fact you can create private cateogories that only you can see. Bookmarks whatever computer you might be using, wherever! Neat.
I also like the toolbar button. If you're not using it, you might want to play around with it.

Comment spam is an ongoing problems that we're trying to address. Previously we required people to create accounts and log in. I am thankful to say that is no longer the case. We're giving Captcha another try and are playing around with a text-based Q&A variant of Captcha. So bear with us as we try to figure out how to best get a handle ont he problem. Please note that any comment on a post more than 30 days old will go into the moderation queue, where I will get to it when I can which could be once a week.
