Well, the ability to add bookmarks is on again. The service has been having problems in balancing the load between search requests, rss requests and writes to the db. We are getting a lot of deadlocks in the MySQL server, and in an attempt to fix this we implemented a method last night to try to get around the problem. Unfortunately a permissions table was left in a state which prevented access to writes. This has now been fixed. The issue with deadlocks is a little better, but it is something we are continuing to work on. In the meantime happy posting.

Hi Ian, I have an idea for fixing the other bug in connotea (buggotea) using reasoning, it might even be publishable, wondered if you’d be interested?
Hi Duncan, yes I’m very interested in hearing about your idea. We have been thinking about this a lot and are going to start working on the issue, so any thoughts right now are more than welcome.
OK, I’ll send the details seperately rather than post them here. I don’t know how citeulike does it, but it doesn’t suffer from the same problem, see http://www.citeulike.org/tag/buggotea
