As sullara says, you should be able to push tagged links (from an RSS feed item, for example) quite easily using their API which you can find here http://del.icio.us/help/api/posts
nothing you (or the OPML Editor app) can't handle ;)

Interesting. I don't want it so bad that I'm willing to write a script and keep it running to synch up the two. I'm already generating an RSS feed, so it would be easy to hook together that way. Oh well.

cool. I thought you might be generating your rss feeds! :)
Incidentally, what RSS tagging 'mechanism' would you recommend for applying tags to RSS items?
What is the 'standard' way of 'doing' tags, would you say? I have tagging on Phreadz posts and am looking at the best way to implement them in the RSS feeds which it creates (and opml for that matter)
cheers ;)

At the point that an item is first saved into the NewsJunk Feed you could do a POST to delicious. I'm assuming of course that there is a place in the code where the feed reader says "Aha, a new article, let me save that into my database table"

I think your best bet is write a small script make api call on a cron job for this, I don't know about any solutions that are out there for this

If you decide to use the del.icio.us API as some have suggested, take note of the warning in their documentation regarding throttling:
"Please wait AT LEAST ONE SECOND between queries, or you are likely to get automatically throttled."
That could make things a little more complicated.

I'm not sure they'd welcome auto-posting a feed like this anyway.
(Is there anyone left over there to ask?)

We don't encourage it; Delicious is for personal bookmarks, not blog feeds. The thing we don't want is a person spammily auto-bookmarking a hundred of her own blog posts. A feed of hand-selected links to interesting articles (using their real URLs, not redirected URLs) might be OK.

Britta, spam should be discouraged, but I can see a lot of useful and interesting uses for something like this. In my opinion, del.icio.us is a tool for organizing links. I don't see why those links need to be "hand-selected". See Taggedhype as an example...
That's an automated del.icio.us account that organizes music from the Hype Machine by tags that describe the music. The person who created that wasn't trying to spam anyone. They were using del.icio.us a link archive with automated tagging and categorization. It's awesome.
Arguments &url (required) - the url of the item. &description (required) - the description of the item. &extended (optional) - notes for the item. &tags (optional) - tags for the item (space delimited). &dt (optional) - datestamp of the item (format "CCYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ssZ"). Requires a LITERAL "T" and "Z" like in ISO8601 at http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/iso-time.html for example: "1984-09-01T14:21:31Z" &replace=no (optional) - don't replace post if given url has already been posted. &shared=no (optional) - make the item private

I was looking for a tool like this a few weeks back, but didn't find anything. It would be really useful if someone built a tool that could handle any RSS feed and post the items to a del.icio.us account (including support for tags). It would be similar to TwitterFeed.com, but for del.icio.us instead of Twitter. I don't have the skills to build it myself. I hope someone does.

Hate to say it, but that's not the role of del.icio.us. For me, del.icio.us is all about bookmark synchronization. And bookmark synchronization doesn't involve automatically submitting a slew of content but rather, actively choosing what interests me.

Obviously that's true. If they wanted people to synch up feeds they would have made it easy, not hard.

Feed.Us can do this. I've tried to demo it for you for about a year now. Oh well.
