Yummy Tag Buffet Timeline
Over the holiday I spent a few hours here and there putting together a timeline for my del.icio.us bookmarks. The result is, well, Yummy.
Yummy uses the del.icio.us API to retrieve all your posts, then organizes them into a timeline. You can modify which portion of your timeline you’d like to examine by adjusting the two sliders.
I created Yummy because I was wishing for some sort of personal timeline capturing the phases I’ve gone through over the past year. Yummy is just bookmarks and tags of course, but it has helped be understand some of the themes in my life, both lasting and fleeting. Also, note that much of Yummy was designed and written while I drank my favorite Lagunitas beer.
Reload sparingly please! Yummy grabs big chunks of data from del.icio.us, and if too many people use it we may get throttled. If that actually happens I’ll figure something out.
Also check out the Yummy screencast (12MB) showing it in action.

absolutely great work. The dual slide UI is perfect. is it open source/CC? I would love to get a copy of your code so I can use it for my own nefarious purposes.

Thanks Chris. I put it under a CC license. I’m looking forward to seeing derivations and enhancements.

I love it! I am thinking about using it on nrk.no/urort/ to make it easier for people to find music…
A suggestion, when clicking a tag, it would be nice if you actually limited the list to only contain links tagged with this word.
And if you ever get the time, I would love to read a walkthrough of the code. I’m currently researching jsonpath, and I suppose it is something in those lines you use.

Couple of things.
1. Is Yummy code still freely available online?
2. Looks like the app is broken. Throws out “Application error (Rails)” error.

Great tool, I’d love to be able to see how a particular page was tagged over time. Is this possible using your tool or the delicious api?
At the company I work for I made a yahoo pipe to find out how many tags a entire site has (rather than a single page). You can see the pipe here.

Using a pipe is not the best solution and it won’t work for large sites as it’s using the yahoo pipe to compile a RSS feed for each page. Quite useful for smaller sites tho.
