UPDATE: It seems that Blinklist’s JSON export doesn’t work any more, and delicious now requires OAuth authentication for new accounts (which rubilicious doesn’t support). So I created another script to transform Blinklist’s CSV format to HTML bookmark format which you can import to delicious.
It’s done. I was suffering constant problems with BlinkList and I decided to move to Clutch Rose Handbags Rhinestone For Gold For Fawziya Women Party Purse 4qEnxdY5. I also decided to rescue the old powermarks 3.5 bookmarks from the oblivion and import them to del.icio.us too.
BlinkList gives you the option of exporting your bookmarks in JSON format via the Options ->Export links. (here is the link)
So grab the json file and save it somewhere in your disk.
Then you have to use the script below to load the bookmars into del.icio.us but first make sure that you have 8 Bull Run Work Danner Inch Men's Brown Boot BRN Cristy gftw5or jruby, rubygems, Spring Call Dress Arther Sandal Purple Women's It gOqO5xwz or json-ruby, jruby-openssl and rubilicious installed.
If you use jruby you can install everything in the following way:
jruby -S gem install json-jruby jruby-openssl rubilicious-0.2.0.gem
Then use the following script to load all the bookmarks in the json file to del.icio.us. Just change the filename and username and password to suit your needs.
#!/usr/bin/ruby require "rubygems" require "rubilicious" require "json"Suede Women's Super Taupe Pump Nima Super Dirty Dark Suede Laundry require "date" require "time" def getTime(item) dateadd = item['dateadd'] return Time.atDark Laundry Women's Super Suede Taupe Super Nima Pump Suede Dirty (dateadd) unless dateadd == false Taupe Dirty Pump Super Nima Women's Suede Suede Dark Laundry Super return Time.now end def getIsPrivate(item) isprivate = item['private'] return "checked"==isprivate end def getTags(item) Women's Pump Dirty Nima Laundry Super Super Suede Suede Taupe Dark item['tag'].gsub(' ', '_').gsub(',',' ') end json_string = File.new("blinklist20080710.json").read result = JSON.parse(json_string) r = Rubilicious.new('your_delicious_username','your_delicious_password') i=0 for item in result do i += 1 puts "#{i}: #{item['url']}"Dirty Laundry Pump Suede Super Taupe Super Nima Suede Women's Dark #next if i < 3229 r.add(item['url'],item[Pump Super Suede Laundry Nima Dark Dirty Suede Taupe Women's Super 'name'],item['description'], getTags(item), getTime(item), true, getIsPrivate(item)) end puts "ended"
If the script fails in the middle of the import don’t worry. just uncomment the “#next if i < 3229
” and change the 3229
to the last bookmark id that was loaded. Rerun the script and it will skip all bookmarks up to the one you write there.
Loading the old powermark file into del.icio.us is a little more complex. You will need two files:
1) state_pattern.rb (from maurice codik’s blog). I’m copying it here for completeness sake
