The good news is that finally the Mind Map Maker is being used and tested. The bad news is that it does not always work. Somehow it would have been easier if it never worked. I think there are two problems: one problem is that it requires some heavy download from del.icio.us. No matter if the download are for different account, they are all coming from the same IP, so I would not be surprised to discover that del.icio.us have bashed the program on the head more than once. I can somehow half the request by making the program calculate the whole list of tags, instead of downloading it as a separate file. I had it already on my todo list, and I think I will do it tomorrow. So, if you have requested for a password and it did not appear, than fear not, just try again in some half an hour. (Alenahra, I’m speaking to you for example!)
But this is not the only reason why the map maker is failing. There have also been cases where the map maker made some ‘perfectly acceptable’ maps from my point of view, but that for some reason are unreadable from the mind map. What am I refering to: but to niels77 for example, for whom the program made what seem as a perfectly acceptable .mm file but that for some reason neither the java program, nor the free mindmap in my computer seem able to read. This is the kind of mistery that are more easily unraveled in the morning.
But for few maps who don’t make it many did. Just go to the Make Map page and choose one, any one. And each will tell you a story, a point of view, a set of interests, and a suggestion on how that person sees the world. The more I use them the more I like them.
BTW the Make Map has also made it to the popular page. I feel so unprofessional in noting it 
Update I checked how many directories have been created respect to how many maps have been completed. The ratio is about 110:70 That’s not that good. It means that if you ask for a map you have about 1/3 of probability that it will not make it. For now just wait some time than try again.

Unprofessional! Don’t you need to make some money from it first?
You have good reason to be proud of your creation. I believe the structure of your mindmap could be the basis of an ideal interface for del.icio.us.

But I do accept patches to make it better.
Naaaaaaaaa. That would take away all the fun. As long as the site supports it I’m ok. (I’ll wait until I have 5 million users, and then I’ll sell it to 6A).

I think there is so many things that have to be done. The mind map let your easily control about a hundred bookmarks, but after that is the same old mess. I am preparing a mind map of ideas.
Del.icio.us Mind Map Maker
Pietro:
This program will make a Clustered Mind Map out of your Delicious entries and add the map to the list.
Very nice. I’ve not got much in del.icio.us yet, but this worked a treat (FireFox 1.0 PR, JDK 1.4)
