After lot of complained from Simpy users about Bookmarker, the Wordpress plugin which is able to automatically submit our new post to Simpy and del.icio.us, Simpy owner finally decided to disallowed Bookmarker to be used for Simpy.

A few people expressed concerns about how Bookmarker, a WordPress plugin, will be used. I contacted Aleksey, its author, and explained the situation. He agreed and decided to terminate Bookmarker.

On Bookmarker page, the author, Aleksey, has also updated the page:

The development, support and distribution of Bookmarker plug-in has been stopped because of tendency to misuse it. The plug-in was originally developed to help people promote their important articles, but it quickly started to result in flooding the bookmarking services with lots of spam. This is the reason why Bookmarker life has been terminated.

I found out about this after the owner of Simpy emailed me yesterday and ask me to stop using Bookmarker for Simpy.

Too bad. This is a good plugin afterall.
