Server-Side Social Bookmarking with Scuttle
After searching Google and posting on forums, I finally found a server-side bookmarking application. The purpose of such an application was to take control of my Delicious bookmark page. I want full control over what goes in and out.
The application is called Scuttle. It is hosted on SourceForge and has been through several iterations. There are not any active forums that I could see, however the developer must still be working on it. 
Configuration was relatively simple. Manually edit the config.inc.php, insert a table into MySQL (I used phpmyadmin), tidy up a bit and off you go. The only major problem with the application is that anyone can register – without admin approval. So, I rewrote the register.php file with a brand of my own. No biggee. The next task is to export your delicious bookmarks and then import them into Scuttle.
Exporting your current Delicious bookmarks
Use the delicious api to capture all of your bookmarks by typing the below statement into your browser address bar. Make sure that you insert your username and password in the string.
https://user:passwd@api.del.icio.us/v1/posts/all
You can learn more about the Delicious api strings at this address http://delicious.com/help/api. Additionally, you can use curl with the same string. Save the file and go to the next step.
Importing Your .xml
Login to Scuttle and ‘add a bookmark.’ Look at the bottom of the page and import your file. Make sure that you set the appropriate viewing permission on your bookmark imports (e.g. Public, Private, etc.). That’s it!
