[ydn-delicious] Tagging and foldering
Hi, Another perspective on the issue: "A while ago I published a blog essay and screencast on the evolution from a folder-oriented to a tag-oriented metaphor for storing, organizing, and searching for digital objects. The subject of the screencast was Windows Photo Gallery, an application that lives at the intersection of those two metaphors. Since then, I've looked for opportunities to explore what happens at that intersection." http://blog.jonudell.net/2007/10/03/tagging-and-foldering/ Hamish. -- http://del.icio.us/Hamish.MacEwan http://urltea.com/3jm?GoogleSharedItems

Your comment about default implies that is the case. Guessing always seems risky.

On other subjects, I'd really appreciate the daily blog posting "experimental" and very useful feature for Wordpress users, bein corrected and made usable by other blog platforms. Google Docs provides an excellent model for this kind of operation. In a way I'm quite pleased that demand growth and resource constraint has limited the degree of visible "improvement" of del.icio.us. Back end changes generally improve things, but the del.icio.us plug-in that messes with client bookmarks is something I will never install. The whole point, for me, of del.icio.us is to have access to my links from browsers I don't control, and my experiences with GoogleSync and the stories on this list suggest these things never perform to spec. > Joshua Hamish. -- http://protopage.com/Hamish.MacEwan

I've not responded to these kinds of call for functionality in the past, but just to put on record my belief and evidence its unnecessary here's my POV YMMV. Hierarchical structures of folders are a straitjacket, based on "a place for everything and everything in its place." In fact its more like "one and only one place for anything." But if you enjoy the results you can have them in del.icio.us by tagging with the folder names you wish in the hierarchy and accessing thus for example: http://del.icio.us/Hamish.MacEwan/Open+del.icio.us (this indirectly illustrates a problem with '.' notation for "sub.folders" This gives you complete freedom to restructure the hierarchy (because it is imposed rather than innate), the only thing missing is the mnemonic assistance I sometimes get by traversing the hierarchy looking for *just* the right place to put things, that properly belong in two or more places, a contingency wonderfully coped with by tagging. Thus del.icio.us can give you any hierarchical view you wish, while also allowing the greater flexibility of a single level of folders and multiple membership, AKA tagging. > Mike Hamish. -- http://protopage.com/Hamish.MacEwan

Site down? system:dead, system:unresponsive, lasts until next check (automatic or manual) shows available. robots.txt? As far as I know, this relates to bulk spidering not the accessing of specific URLs, which is the case here. robots.txt would have the same relationship to this process as it does were I to run one of the many link-checker applications from my PC. Del.icio.us would appear no different to the caching-proxy of any significant ISP. However, if a site operator was concerned enough to specify "User-agent: del.icio.us" obviously (to me) del.icio.us should respect that. In any case, this all begs the question of the degree of integration that is occurring, or indeed existed, between del.icio.us and one or some of the search engines. Social search, among many meanings, may imply the use of the aggregated click streams of sites like del.icio.us (or digg, techmeme, rojo, et al) to drive priority indexing. There might be a correlation between what appears on del.icio.us/popular and what people are searching for, thus early availability of search results from those links (or the entire site) may provide an advantage at very economical cost to the search operator. Further, association with a search engine using this approach would mean del.icio.us could utilise that search engines cache, so that even if the link died, del.icio.us could offer the cached version of that page, all usual caveats applying. My untested feeling is that del.icio.us does search more than the fields in the post link form which suggests some caching or access to cache is occurring. > Joshua Hamish. -- http://del.icio.us/Hamish.MacEwan Yahoo!

The allocation of resources is clearly related to the degree they are used, and adding expensive resources may be the first step to the kind of "featuritis" that bedevils many applications, web and stand-alone. It seems reasonable to extrapolate from the low utilisation simpler complexities, that greater complexity would be even less used. KISS principle applies here I think. As with many other enhancements, most recently "Can I see the URLs explicitly?" perhaps a client side or web-based broker application (like del.icio.us director) is a better solution since it need only be adopted by those users that require it without impacting on the simplicity of the core. As I quote endlessly: "this is why a heavy-duty core will always lose...by definition, it must offer services which are of interest to only a subset of its users and yet all users are impacted by them..." /mtr > In those cases I simply don't use del.icio.us at all.

Firstly I think if the needs and/or desires of 20% of users don't matter, we can stop worrying about the blind and otherwise perception impaired, and slivers like Mac OSX and Firefox users can equally be ignored. Secondly, if 20% wish to make the additional effort, perhaps selfishly, it maybe that they can have a much larger overall effect through some kind of leverage by the 80% who don't. Somewhere, IIRC (and its not likely I do) Joshua made a comment about options alleviating the need for designers to decide for users. Given this suggestion involves individual users (and their viewers, though optional fields would likely be suppressed in aggregate views), I don't agree there is a problem. On the Thesaurus suggestion, sounds good, on a user by user and user selectable basis, and perhaps the "tag bundling" structure could be extended for this purpose, ie, where you were bundling for this purpose, a flag could indicate utilisation as a thesaural (?) entry. > c Hamish MacEwan Open ICT Consultant -- http://del.icio.us/Hamish.MacEwan ___ discuss mailing list discuss@del.icio.us http://lists.del.icio.us/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/discuss

I'm in the "both" camp, and was drowning, until I discovered what the "edit inbox" function did, essentially create sub-folders of the inbox that can be inspected individually. Currently I have sub-inboxes named "People" "Acquaintances" and "Wireless" for example. This has made the inbox infinitely more useful...

Tried flock, but since its value above standard Firefox depends on usage of two specific sites (one I do, one I dabble) I don't think there's a great (in the context of 100M Firefox downloads) future for flock. Until there are ways of integrating the client's choice of "tag-site" the way one can select search engines in Firefox, I think its an interesting experiment only. Problem for flock is, once that schema/protocol is established, it will be implemented in base Firefox, and their unique proposition will be diluted. Well, that's happened before, but the rate of standardisation and concomitant commoditisation is accelerating. Differentiation will remain in the ease with which the client manages those tag-site relationships. > c Hamish. -- http://del.icio.us/Hamish.MacEwan ___ discuss mailing list discuss@del.icio.us http://lists.del.icio.us/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/discuss
