Telegraph, and Macworld
First, Telegraph:
I’ve finally spent a little time on it, and I have three things fixed.
- You can actually log in to the thing. Registering used to put you in a terrible loop where you put in your credentials, it tells you you’ve logged in as yourself, and presents you with the login screen again.
- The Boookmark Importer works. Save/export your browser bookmarks as an html file, then in Telegraph click the Import button on the top. (Looks like an arrow going from a star—your favorites or bookmarks—to a telegraph pole.) You can then upload your bookmark file and—voila—have all the bookmarks you know and love right in Telegraph. Now, Telegraph will only build tags for bookmark folders one layer deep, so if you have some grand hierarchical scheme going… sorry about that.
- The favicons associated with your links are correct for the actual URL you save, not just the root host, as it used to be. That was by design, but I think it’s better to have the right icon for the URL you put in, which might be different than the host site. Also, the code is more robust; more favicons will get picked up. In case you’re curious, Telegraph is not going out to each URL in your list every time you load it for the icons–they are cached in Telegraph itself. Much faster that way.
Second, Macworld:
I’m going, on the Friday, which is February 12. Once again, no booth (maybe someday I’ll be in TinyTown), just me cruising around on a free expo pass, taking in the booth swag and feature presentations. So see ya there!
