Pukka: Simple. Delicious.

Despite recent crit­i­cism, I use and love del.icio.us almost every day. Fre­quently, I’ll quickly book­mark a page that I want write a longer post about later, when I have the time. (A little short­cut tool helps to stream­line this.)

Del.icio.us pro­vides a few ways to expe­dite the book­mark­ing process – there are exten­sions, but­tons, and book­marklets – but, I prefer Justin Miller’s Pukka, a native OS X app that greatly speeds up the post­ing of bookmarks.

With Pukka, you don’t have to wait for any­thing to load – just high­light some text on a page, and click its book­marklet. Up pops the appli­ca­tion with the URL and high­lighted text already inserted. Type a few tags (auto-​completes from exist­ing tags), hit return, and you’re done. Pukka recedes to the back­ground to do its thing, and you’re back in your browser, and on your way.

Some other nice features:

• OS X-friendly Key­board shortcuts
• Growl support
• Sup­port for mul­ti­ple del.icio.us accounts, as well as ma.gnolia.com
• Applescript-​aware

Pukka requires Mac OS X 10.4+, and costs $14.95 – worth every penny.
