New release, new search and new tag features 
The Release Log has the details, but in short, I am happy to announce that the new Simpy release is out!
The most notable features concern searching and tagging.
The full-text search is back! Not only can you full-text search your own bookmarks, but you can also full-text search any other Simpy user's public bookmarks. In my opinion, this is big and useful. Browsing by tags is nice, but is also limiting. Full-text search can do more, and since Simpy supports fielded search, you can always emulate tag search with queries like tags:foo (more info is in the FAQ).
You can see your Tag Cloud now (just use the "tags" link in the nav bar at the top of Simpy pages). A Tag Cloud is a more visual representation of your tags and their usage distribution. Along with the Tag Cloud come the 4 new Tag functions: remove, rename, split, and merge. These 4 functions will let you mess with your tags to your heart's content. If they are not enough, I'm all ears.
Simpify!
