A “Save to Mobile Delicious” bookmarklet

Currently, the mobile version of Delicious offers no other way to add a new bookmark than a save link, which is awkward and forces you to manually copy and paste the url, title and description of the website you want to add.
 

Delicious Mobile bookmarklet in actionYou could use the official “Bookmark on Delicious (Full – Save)” bookmarklet provided on Delicious but unfortunately it redirects to the form in the normal version of the website, which not only breaks the (mobile) user experience but can be difficult to use on a small screen.

Fortunately there is a simple solution: you just need to modify the url in the javascript code of the bookmarklet changing it from the original delicious.com to m.delicious.com

This will allow the saving of url on any page as usual but will redirect it to the form on the mobile version of Delicious while also inserting automatically both the url and title fields.

Here it is: the modified “Save to Mobile Delicious” bookmarklet.

Add this as a new bookmark on your (i)Phone web browser or replace the content of the old Delicious bookmarklet and mobile bookmarking “on the go” will get a bit more easy and consistent. :)

p.s. Here is also the javascript code in the bookmarklet, in plain text form, just in case:

javascript:(function(){location.href='http://m.delicious.com/save?url='+encodeURIComponent(window.location.href)+'&title='+encodeURIComponent(document.title)+'&v=5&jump=yes'})()
