I didn't do much updates on the website lately, even the website is not yet finished. However today I stumbled in some new delicious functionality, seen in their blog. They have released a widget called Tagometer which allows bloggers to show the delicious status of a (bloggers) page using JSON.

This is great news for bloggers, but what got me interested more is that, it provides and easy way for users to get detailed information about a page in delicious, like whether tagged or not, the tags used.
Based on this I created a GreaseMonkey script for FireFox which will show this information for all the pages a user visits.
A link to this Greasemonkey script can be found at the end of this post.

What does this script do?

Basically it shows this tagometer at the right bottom of all pages you visit. This allows you to see whether this page is tagged or not in del.icio.us and tagged with which tags. It can give you some information whether this page is popular or not. Besides this, it allows you to post the current site to del.icio.us. Because it overlaps the current page, I have provided a close link, which will hide this information from the page.

Currently it shows this information for all the pages you visit except localhost and google. You can modify these settings in GreaseMonkey itself.

Notes
It is based on the code provided by del.icio.us. I modified some pieces to make it work in GreaseMonkey. It doesnt have any configuration options really. If you want to configure it, you have to digg in the code and modify it to your own needs.

Future
I have not yet developed a FireFox extension. It would be better to have this functionality as an extension, as the current GreaseMonkey script is run each time a page is loaded. Maybe somebody can do this or if I have the time I will look into this.
