del.icio.us is heavily spammed now all the time, I put a couple of simple filters in place to block the spam from the popular view.
This was already in tagdigest, but I’ve moved the code higher up so now they should be blocked from LiveMarks too.
The anti-spam measures are fairly simplistic, so they might not hold forever—it’s really in del.icio.us’s hands to ensure that their service doesn’t become riddled with spam.
If you are using LiveMarks or the tag digest page, the reason it’s empty is that del.icio.us has stopped updating its RSS feeds.
This happens a lot and there’s not much I can do about it, just have to wait till they turn the feeds back on again, it’s usually not much longer than a couple days.
Here’s a traffic graph of del.icio.us
OK del.icio.us is back up and everything is working again – LiveMarks, delimages, priv.at, even BozPages tag search.
I’ve added in redundant social bookmarking services so LiveMarks isn’t so much at the mercy of del.icio.us. Now if you bookmark something on del.irio.us or any of the other social-bookmarking sites that are wise enough to offer a feed of their bookmarks, it will scroll by just like the del.icio.us bookmarks.
Here’s kind of a neat bookmark: random del.icio.us tag
