Dead.licious: Check Your Simpy Links 
« Simpy Gets Zend_Service_Simpy | Main | Ahead of Google, del.icio.us, etc. »
Do you ever wonder how many of your bookmarks (in Simpy or wherever you keep your bookmarks) are broken? How many are dead and are now useless? How many have a new location and now redirect to that new location?
While Simpy has this functionality almost since the beginning, it is currently (temporarily?) turned off. However, Vince Tagle (profile) comes to the rescue with his dead.alicious , an application whose main goal is checking your Simpy (or del.icio.us or ma.gnolia) links. Once broken links are found, you can fix them or simply remove them directly from the application. This application is free and runs on Apple's OSX.
Needless to say (so I'll say it anyway), dead.licious makes good use of Simpy's rich REST API. Good job, Vince, and thank you for dead.licious!
