Or is it teknocool? posting error was: 500 Can't connect to www.teknokool.net:80 (Bad hostname 'www.teknokool.net') perhaps there was a DNS outage at the time somewhere?

[delicious-discuss] feature suggestion/request for discussion
Hi list, I was almost ready to start writing my own bookmark manager last year when I was introduced to del.icio.us - how fortunate for me! It provides an easier-to-use interface than I'd envisioned, which is a major point in its favor. However, it lacks a few key features which I think would be really nice to have. If the code were open-source, I'd have added them already, as they are small compared to the hard work that has already been done. As it's not, I'm throwing them out here for discussion. I couldn't find a TODO list posted anywhere on the site, so please forgive me if these have already been debated to death or are slated to be added. 1. Title extension. In my own link collection, I like to expand upon the title a bit as a memory-jogger for myself, perhaps incorporating the title into my one-liner commentary about the page. Before you suggest description, I don't use the description for this, because that's where I like to save a short quote from the page so that in case my link goes 404, I can search for a copy elsewhere. For example, today's CNN headline Postal shooter's former neighbor found dead might appear in my collection as California Postal shooter's former neighbor found dead next day in home where only the original title is hyperlinked. 2. Sorting. Having the display sortable only reverse chronologically by date added is horrible. There should be options for alpha by title and popularity (num users linking to page), at least. If the above idea were adopted, the sort by title should allow by actual page title (the link itself) as well as the user-expanded title. 3. Display. I like to get more on a page, preferably without scrolling. How about an option to not display descriptions - rather, put them in the title attribute of the link so they appear when on mouse hover? 4. Domain autotagging. I think it would be useful if the domain of the story were automatically used as a tag, so a user could quickly pull up all links he has from cnn.com, for instance. You wouldn't be able to edit these tags, of course, as they are implicit in the URL, but otherwise should work pretty much the same. 5. Favicons. If domain autotagging is done, it wouldn't be too hard to store the URL to a site's favicon, if it has one, and then display the favicon for the domain in the bookmark entry. One of the primary uses of favicons is bookmark lists in the browser because they help with visual identity; they'd be useful in the same way for bookmark lists on the web. Naturally, this should be optional for those who feel it slows their page loads too much. OK, that's it. What do you think?

[delicious-discuss] free merit based advertising on CollaborativeRank
Hi, I hope to provide some form of free merit based advertising on CollaborativeRank soon. In such a system, the higher you rank as a del.icio.us expert with respect to some tag, the greater the probability that your advertising will show up on a query involving that tag. Currently, I am thinking asking people to use a special tag (e.g., __promote__) when bookmarking their advertising URLs on del.icio.us. This isn't really encouraging people to spam del.icio.us. After all, advertising from people who are not generally helpful will not appear. In case of abuse, I could simply filter undesirable bookmarks. Moreover, such a motivation for free advertising might encourage people to bookmark lots of timely/helpful URLs with meaningful tags so that they can advertise one or two URLs with the importance that they have earned. Any feedback on this would be welcome. Amir ___ discuss mailing list discuss@del.icio.us http://lists.del.icio.us/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/discuss

For example, today's CNN headline Postal shooter's former neighbor found dead might appear in my collection as California Postal shooter's former neighbor found dead next day in home where only the original title is hyperlinked. This is why the title is editable. 2. Sorting. Having the display sortable only reverse chronologically by date added is horrible. There should be options for alpha by title and popularity (num users linking to page), at least. If the above idea were adopted, the sort by title should allow by actual page title (the link itself) as well as the user-expanded title. Does alpha ordering provide anything that search does not? This keeps coming up and I'm not entirely sure it's all that sueful. 3. Display. I like to get more on a page, preferably without scrolling. How about an option to not display descriptions - rather, put them in the title attribute of the link so they appear when on mouse hover? Interesting idea. 4. Domain autotagging. I think it would be useful if the domain of the story were automatically used as a tag, so a user could quickly pull up all links he has from cnn.com, for instance. You wouldn't be able to edit these tags, of course, as they are implicit in the URL, but otherwise should work pretty much the same. If it's automatic, then it is not a tag. You can search for domains, though. 5. Favicons. If domain autotagging is done, it wouldn't be too hard to store the URL to a site's favicon, if it has one, and then display the favicon for the domain in the bookmark entry. One of the primary uses of favicons is bookmark lists in the browser because they help with visual identity; they'd be useful in the same way for bookmark lists on the web. Naturally, this should be optional for those who feel it slows their page loads too much. We don't currently fetch anything on a store. This may change in the future. I'm more interested in doing page thumbnails instead, though. Joshua ___ discuss mailing list discuss@del.icio.us http://lists.del.icio.us/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/discuss
