On the Yojimbo mailing list, Dylan Damian shared two applescripts that help to integrate the new tagging feature of Yojimbo 1.3 with del.icio.us and NetNewsWire.

They use pukka to tag a URL in either Safari or NetNewsWire, post the link to del.ico.us and then create a web archive of the page in Yojimbo complete with the same tags.

For example, if you run the first script (tip: make a Quicksilver trigger for it) when viewing a web page in Safari, it launches pukka.

Tag the page with your chosen del.icio.us tags, and submit the page.

Pukka posts the URL to del.icio.us for you and then the script creates a web archive of the page in Yojimbo with the same tags.

Yojimbo becomes in effect, an off-line backup for your del.icio.us links.

The second script does the same thing from NetNewsWire.

In a nice additional touch, the scripts get Growl to tell you that they have done their job.

It’s all very clever and works a treat.

You can get the text of the scripts from Dylan’s post in the Yojimbo mailing list archive or just grab the two scripts here (PukkaAndYojimbo.zip).

They are easiest to use (I think) if you place them in the Safari and NetNewsWire folders in your ~/Library/Scripts/Application directory. Unless you are partial to NetNewsWire’s own Script menu, in which case you are looking for ~/Library/Application Support/NetNewsWire/Scripts.

In a post on the recently announced update to Yojimbo, I suggested that Fraser Speirs’ AppleScript offered a faster way to get things into Yojimbo than the new browser bookmarklets.

Since then I have learned that Quicksilver now has a Yojimbo plugin, that adds five new actions to the vast range of Quicksilver options.

Using the main interface, it is easy to add bookmarks, import text or create a web archive:

But there is an even easier way. You can set a hotkey trigger in Quicksilver for the bookmarklets themselves, choosing “Run Javascript” as the action. Assign the keystroke you want to them, and—hey presto!—you have single keystroke bookmarking and archiving:
