[delicious-discuss] lazy sheep

2005-09-01 Thread joshua schachter
Hi. I can't quite put my finger on why, exactly, yet, but I'm not thrilled about lazy sheep. We've definitely been burned in the past by alternative posting interfaces silently corrupting user's data. I'm also not thrilled about automatic tags and commenting; there should be some

Interesting -- is the idea to just avoid having to go through the whole post process if you just want to bookmark something to check out later (since you can just tag something readlater anyway), or are you thinking in the direction of some of the private tagging that's been discussed on

Joshua, I definitely understand what you're saying, I did not foresee some of the problems that are now arising. The one change that I have made to the code, very recently, is that the default number of tags 'borrowed' is limited to 6, instead of 'Unlimited'. What was happening before

Yeah, I guess I don't really see the point of a bookmarklet that just duplicates the tags and descriptions provided by others...as you say, the abuse potential is great and I don't see what the user really gets out of it: they'll end up with an erratic tag library that probably won't make

What would be most interesting would be a geneology for discovery... i.e. via:... via:... via:... enabling you to trace something all the way back up the chain. This would lend itself to some very interesting six degrees visualizations... who knows, maybe we're down to 4 degrees by now. Chris

[delicious-discuss] Clean feeds?

2005-09-01 Thread Sam Rowe
A while ago Joshua said that my clean feeds (where a given URL will only appear in the feed once, rather than whenever it gets posted) was on the TODO list. Any idea when they might come to fruition? ___ discuss mailing list discuss@del.icio.us

That's pretty much it, exactly. I keep a relatively well-defined tag library - because I find it to be useful, to me. However, I've simply run out of time trying to keep it maintained - I just want to throw my link into del.icio.us and forget it (for now). I should also bring up that the

Or maybe more complete, it can be like system:later:read Because system:later:download , system:later:forschool and system:later:blogabout would be as valuable as system:later:read Would it be possible to tag the last part of system:later:... ? On 9/2/05, John Sullivan [EMAIL PROTECTED]
