Applescripts to bookmark NNW headlines in del.icio.us
I'm a lover of NetNewsWire, and I'm excited to see what Newsgator is going to do with it. Being that I spend more time in NNW than Safari these days, I've always been itching for a way to bookmark and organize headlines that I find in NNW. Flagging them doesn't quite cut it, and neither does opening them in tabs. Fortunately, Ranchero (the guys who invented NNW) pointed to a couple of free applescripts that offer the next best thing to bookmarking in NNW: bookmarking to del.icio.us. The first script sends the currently selected headline's URL to del.icio.us, the second sends the currently selected tab. Both scripts work like a charm and all you have to do is edit them (they're properly commented) to add your del.icio.us account name.

I would recommend that you use Cocoalicious as a conduit for del.ic.ious, and run it through Netnewswire - really cool!

I also have a script to do this, but mine is a single script that will bookmark either news items or web pages, depending on what is currently selected in NNW.

Look for "Save to Delicious" near the bottom.

I second using Cocoalicious. http://www.scifihifi.com/cocoalicious/
Just set it as your blog editor (either in NetNewsWire or NewsFire) and whenever you press the "Post to Weblog" button it'll send the news link to Cocoalicious, where you can add tags and a description.

I prefer not to have to run an extra app all the time. I use cocoalicious if I have to do some serious organizing in del.icio.us, but being able to add a 'mark through my browser - an app I already have running 24/7 - keeps my cycles free for other tasks.
