Why slashdot the tool? (Score 1)

I do not understand why the tool should get a big fuss, it is already available with foxy.licio.us and the coding of this tool does not need much brains or skill(It is in del.icio.us's API). The author also does not give us any source code so it is obviously not GPL. Anyways I have coded two scripts that do exactly what this tool does using the del.icio.us API, and it only required about 7 minutes of research on the web. Here they are they do not do rss fead but you could make it do it just search of an rssgen, comments as apreciated.

#___________First Method_______________
#!/usr/bin/env python
#PyURL1.py
import md5
from urllib import urlopen
from sys import popen
site = raw_input("Enter the site's address")
if site[:7] != 'http://': site = 'http://' + site
hash = md5.new(site)
popen('/usr/bin/firefox %s' % ('http://del.icio.us/url/' + hash.hexdigest( )))

#___________Second Method_______________
#!/usr/bin/env python
#PyURL2.py
from urllib import urlopen
from sys import popen
site = raw_input("Enter the site's address")
if site[:7] != 'http://': site = 'http://' + site
popen('/usr/bin/firefox %s' % ('http://del.icio.us/url?url=' + site))
