RE: [delicious-discuss] for: tags
This is the equivalent of a private bookmark, right? I tried it, bookmarked a site, added the for:my name tag and saved it. I went back to del.icio.us, logged out and then tried to access the http://del.icio.us/for/myname website and it said I had to be logged in to view it. Excellent! Can you go into more detail about the level of security this provides? Thanks!

To do so, use for:username where username is the name of the user you want to send the item to. You can see items tagged for you at http://del.icio.us/for/ -- it'll redirect to your own page, which other users will not be able to see.

RE: [delicious-discuss] for: tags
We had this conversation several times before but it's always good to discuss important points. Yes, Delicious is a social bookmarking service but it is also a personal bookmarking service as well. Many of the bookmarks I have are internal only links. I can't even let someone know the title of the website they might be able to view if they were properly authenticated. Because of this, it is impossibly to fully move all my bookmarks over to Delicious, so now I am stuck with 2/3 of my links in Delicious (the publicly viewable ones) and the other third in IE (the extremely private ones - no, they're not porn). I'd like to fully move to Delicious but can't because of this. There were many others who expressed the same request. The goal of this request is not to suppress all sites from being seen; the goal is to fully move to a single, web-based bookmarking system that allows access to one entire set of links rather than several dispersed across multiple platforms. I'm sure others would like to secure some of the websites they frequent and prevent others from seeing them. For example, what about the link to your financial/online banking website. Why give information out that enables hackers to know where you bank? That's just one more tool they can use to phish you more efficiently. How about links to web admin or personal FTP sites? I think it's important to implement this to reduce the dependency on IE, Firefox or other web browsers. Also, this will allow you to access all your links from anywhere in the world with any computer. That's the one primary thing I'm looking forward to. I also expect, if this feature is implemented, I'll be able to have three types of bookmarks stored on Delicious. Most that are open to all who access Delicious, some that are open only to friends and family with the correct password (a limited social bookmark), and a few that are only for myself. That would be very cool.

RE: [delicious-discuss] Suggestions
I'm still voting for private bookmarks to get to the top of the to do list. Joel From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Michael GibsonSent: Sunday, July 03, 2005 4:00 PMTo: discuss@del.icio.usSubject: [delicious-discuss] Suggestions - I was thinking of something like John Abbes venn diagram idea, but much simpler and with no flash involved: each tag/bundle would have a tick-box next to it, which would show/hide the bookmarks in that category (of course with an all/none checkbox at the top). You could then quickly show as many or few categories as needed. You could also have an AND/OR thing but that might complicate it a bit. is everyone getting what I mean here? No offence to Johns idea but I think delicious should be kept as simple as possible and definitely free of flash - It would be good to be able to list the bookmarks in alphabetical order or by other criteria, not just by date added - Some kind of rating system, to rank which users have the best/most viewed bookmark lists, crossreferenced by tag, would be great - Itd be good to have a personal bookmark section only accessible by the account owner or by granting permission to particular users- for example I would use it to bookmark my routers IP 172.16.0.1 which Im sure no-one else is interested in seeing. Im sure people would use it to bookmark other *ahem* sites as well - Dont know if this has already been suggested, but itd be good to have a searchable forum on the website to replace this discussion group, cos it would encourage the community to grow and make it easier to track suggestions (for example, Ive just joined this list and am hardly gonna trawl through months of archives to check if the above ideas have already been suggested.) Otherwise, congratulations Joshua on creating this excellent tool, Ive tried a few similar things but Ive just discovered this and it beats them all- Im sure when the features are more fully developed del.icio.us has the potential to become as all-powerful as google!
