Sucking in Delicious
I finally took a little time to update to the latest Feed API and start sucking in my Delicious links. I'm not quite ready to mix it into my Feedburner feed, since I want to do mapping of the link field to my "native" weblink type, as well as the tags aren't transferring across.
The big thing this enables is commenting on my delicious notes. Meta observations on the link in question. As Richard has previously noted, my Jaiku instance actually also provides this: a second permalink where comments are enabled.
All Consuming is the other web service that I'm definitely interested in sucking back in here. I've been keeping it fairly up to date with my reading, and I know lots of people that also like to read similar books. RSS as the simplest systems integration format. Fun times!

Feed API Mapper
Now that the FeedAPI Element Mapper includes a mapper for text and number fields (including link fields!) there's nothing preventing me from using this to syndicate my Flickr photos & Ma.gnolia bookmarks. Flickr and del.icio.us do tags in their RSS feeds differently (Flickr uses the 'media' element, del.icio.us uses the taxo:topic element, none of which, I don't think, match up nicely with the taxonomy mapper in FEMP). Ma.gnolia has 'category' elements, with tags that include capitalization and spaces. I've tested it with FEMP and it matches tags up nicely. I'll be using their 'lite' RSS feed of my bookmarks, since the regular version has too much information in their 'description' element.
Spoke too soon
Must have been a late night when I had it working, since the day after using the .inc file that came with Feed API Mapper didn't work for me. Anyway, after some fussing around, I created a separate .inc file for the Link module. It doesn't use the title part of the field (yet), but it worked for me for mapping just the URL.
