Reddit/Del.icio.us Mashup Demo

This demo consists of a background task that every ten minutes fetches the RSS feed for the "what's hot" page on reddit.com and stores the resulting information in the database. The data is then rendered here. Additionally, the task attempts to retrieve the del.icio.us tags for each story; if it finds any, it makes them available via a popup.

You can drag an entry onto the heart icon to mark it as a favorite story. Dragging an entry onto the folder icon results in it being marked as archived. And as you would expect, dragging an entry onto the trashcan icon deletes it. You can also click on any of those icons to see a list of all the stories that carry that tag. You can bookmark a story on your del.icio.us account by dragging it to the del.icio.us icon. Finally, you can drag an entry onto the document icon to attach a comment to it.

Although the page is never reloaded, all the changes are sent to the server and saved in the database.
