This is a little off-topic, but not too far I hope, and y'all are a
knowledgeable bunch.

I'd like to use something similar to Blogroll to maintain a couple of
links pages on my business website, but the Blogroll FAQ includes the
following:

Can I use the service for non-weblogs?
Yes and no. If you are using blogrolling.com to just store your links
for easy access and they aren't being published to a website then yes.
If your links are being published online to a website then the
displaying the site must be a weblog or journal. Any site not adhering
to these simple rules will be banned.

Well, I'd hate to abuse the service or get myself banned, but the pages
in question are definitely not blogs or journals. So, does anyone here
know of a similar (free or cheap) service that includes a one-click
bookmarklet for adding a URL to the list?

Thanks,
Michael

I have heard good things about using http://del.icio.us in conjunction
with http://www.bigbold.com/rssdigest, but I have not tried this
combination myself.

another option might be

http://rss-to-javascript.com/

i send a feedster feed of my del.icio.us bookmarks to my typepad blog
through this (if that sentence made sense).

"The most dangerous man in the world is the contemplative who is guided
by nobody. He trusts his own visions. He obeys the attractions of an
interior voice but will not listen to other men. He identifies the will
of God with anything that makes him feel, within his own heart, a big,
warm, sweet, interior glow. The sweeter and the warmer the feeling is,
the more he is convinced of his own infallibility." - Thomas Merton
(from, Seeds of Contemplation)

Some people I know also use Furl [1]. I've been meaning to do a
comparison of Furl and del.icio.us myself since I'm going to use one
or the other (or something else similar) as part of my weblog
redesign...

A comparison of several bookmarking services, including Furl and
del.icio.us and Spurl and others, can be found at:

http://www.irox.de/roxomatic/687/social-bookmarks-review-reloaded

or more specificially:

http://www.irox.de/stat-pdf/socialbookmarks.pdf

(I came across this on Spurl's "Hot Spurls" RSS feed, which collects
recent bookmarks from all users)

This looks promising--checking it out is going on my Projects list!
Thanks,

I've been using Spurl [http://www.spurl.net] for quite a while now and
have been really happy with it. It has the ability to create
Javascript to embed your URL's in your page. You can create lists of
recently bookmarked or lists based on categories or tags. It also
integrates with del.icio.us if you use del.icio.us too.

I was just fiddling with Spurl (thanks Bill for the link to the
comparison page!), but I can't get the bookmarklet to work with
OmniWeb. Any Javascript hackers around?
