Apple have updated their Mighty Mouse by releasing a bluetooth version, that means wireless.

It's also now uses a laser, so it's more accurate. The rest is still the same, the nice little scroll ball and the awkward squeeze buttons on the side.

I'm not much of a fan of the Mighty Mouse, bar the scroll ball and much prefer Logitech's mice. They've also recently released a new wireless keyboard and mouse combination, the: Logitech Cordless Desktop S 530. Sadly though it's not Bluetooth, so you have to plug a stupid adapter into your USB port, which seems dumb. Still, you'd be using it at a desk so wouldn't matter too much.

Done?

Right, now you want to know how to get all those bookmarks you have already into it?

Pop along and download Safarilicious


Once installed, open it and type in your new del.icio.us user name and password under the options tab. You can click the check box which only updates Bookmarks which aren't in your del.icio.us account yet; but as this is probably your first time it'll upload them all.

Click to the Preview tab and hit Export! Safarilicious will then upload your bookmarks to your account.

Once complete go back to your del.icio.us account, click on Your Bookmarks and take a look; you should see a whole load of Bookmarks and their various tags down the right hand side.

Tagging helps you find Bookmarks, they're not like folders as say a bookmark on TV could appear under Entertainment, TV, telly, etc. they can have as many tags as you like.

If you would like some Bookmarks to be private, just click Edit next to the Bookmark in question, then click the tick box: Do Not Share, here you can also add any other tags and rename the bookmark etc.


Now, you'll want to know how to download all those bookmarks from del.icio.us to another Mac.

You'll need another handy utility, the aptly named delicious2safari. Go download and install that now (on the machine you wish to download them to, this could be the same machine you're on, or another)

Open delicious2safari and put in your del.icio.us name and password, decide where you want the Bookmarks to be downloaded to, I'd suggest the Bookmarks Menu for easy access and click Get my bookmarks!

They should then download and you will find them in a folder in your Bookmarks menu.


So you could use this method for syncing bookmarks between Macs or keeping a handy backup of your bookmarks which can be accessed from a Mac/PC on the net. Just log into your del.icio.us account like you would an online mail account.


You can post bookmarks from Safari to del.icio.us at http://del.icio.us/post/

Say you were using a computer elsewhere and wanted to access that Bookmark once you're home, you can add it to del.icio.us and it'll be available wherever you are, you could also then re-sync your del.icio.us bookmarks with Safari.

There is also a quicker way adding Bookmarks to del.icio.us using toolbar buttons. Just go to http://del.icio.us/help/buttons and follow the instructions on how to add them to your menu.

So you could easily bookmark a web-site in del.icio.us with one click.


Of course, once you have your Bookmarks in deli.icio.us you could just stop using your normal bookmarks menu and just use del.icio.us. You won't have to keep going back to the del.icio.us web-site to do this. Just go and download Menulicious or delibar, both will put a menu in your menubar where you can quickly access your bookmarks from.

That's not all, there's a very good del.icio.us Bookmarks application: Cocoalicious. Go download and install that as well.

When you open it the first time it should ask you for your del.icio.us user name and password, you can click a check-box so it remembers this information in future.

You will then be able to browse your Bookmarks by clicking on the tags on the left and then the Bookmarks on the right. It will even show you the website, so you'll not be wondering what site it is.

If you want to open the selected bookmark in Safari (or your default browser), just double click!

Pressing the i (info) button on the top left will show you the information on the selected bookmark, here you can change the name, add tags or make the bookmark private. This really is a lot more simple that using the del.icio.us web-site. Any changes you make here will be reflected on your del.icio.us account without you having to do anything else.

You can also post directly to your del.icio.us from Cocoalicious. Under the File Menu you can select New Post or press the + button, you can type in a web-site's URL etc.

Or, from the File Menu you can select New Post from Safari, which will select the web-site you currently have open in Safari, making bookmarking to del.icio.us even quicker.

There may be some other applications I've missed, or better ways of doing it.

I think that covers it, if you're a bit confused I can go into more detail. Hope it works!
