If you are on Mac, you may want to check out Pukka. It lets you do multiple accounts with great ease, including posting in the background and integration with Growl. Watch the screencast for the full effect. Feedback is welcome!

Pukka… cool!!! I like the feature where you can see what others on your local network are tagging.

It’s funny… I am typing this on a Mac, but it isn’t my machine! Wish it were, and I could use Pukka all of the time.

I use the Flock browser for this purpose. I use Flock’s built-in del.icio.us integration for my personal bookmarks, and the official del.icio.us extension for my business link blog.

Pukka is not cool. Here’s why. LOL!

You spend the majority of the article explaining the problem and then one sentence on the answer? I had to read it a few times to understand it and without visual aids it’s still confusing. Sorry.

This is a good point. Del.icio.us complete will let you post to multiple del.icio.us accounts, but you have to select the account on the pop-up menu everytime. If selecting the menu doesn’t bother you, just use del.icio.us complete. Typing in tags is pretty much all I want to do when I am marking a site, but that’s just me!

Kevin, Trying Flock is on my list of things to do. The folks at Flock should advertise this feature better on their site. I know I would have been more inclined to try the browser because of that feature.

mrgn, Install both del.icio.us firefox extensions (links provided above). Use one extension to post to your “personal” del.icio.us account and the other extension to post to your “website’s/professional” del.icio.us account. Sorry about the confusion; my writing wasn’t clear.

Nice information. But, what is so useful about del.icio.us, that people would want to have accounts with? I know it’s popular, but what’s the benefits?

Make it Three !

You can use OnlyWire’s bookmarklet and post to yet another del.icio.us account!

Only Wire can post to multiple bookmarking engines including del.icio.us … you have to login to OnlyWire account but not into the corresponding del.icio.us account.

Another easy way to post to a work-specific or blog-specific del.icio.us account is this:

1. Create a personal account and a separate account for your blog, work or network.

2. Log in under your personal account and add the work account to your del.icio.us network.

3. When you want to tag something for the work account, use the for:workaccount tag to save it for that account.

4. To activate the tagged bookmarks, you’ll still have to occasionally log in to the work account and save them, but it’s still a pretty good way to specifiy which bookmarks go where without having to manage two simultaneous logins.

Good point. I definitely use that feature sometimes. But Step 4 is the annoying part. I don’t like logging into the other account and accepting the links. Additionally, you have to save them as private if you don’t want to display them on one account and delete them later if you don’t want them on that accout at all.

I have downloded the Firefox extension and I’m puzzled as to how to get the button shown in the blog. The download did not create a button in my Firefox browser. I’ve restarted Firefox and my computer. The shortcut keys work and I get the pop up box that allows me to toggle between accounts.

How do I turn on the button on my toolbar?

Hey Charles,

Try going to View > Toolbars > Customize on your Firefox menu. Look for a del.icio.us icon in the list of icons and drag-n-drop that icon to your navigation toolbar.
