realistically, the current behavior of the inbox is not really what
we would term an "inbox." it is much more of an aggregator or
subscription service.
i've been thinking a lot about how to change the inbox to make it
make some actual sense, including renaming it ("subs"? i dunno.)
another significant issue is that the inbox tag subs far outweigh the
user subs; this seems broken to me. i frequently consider making subs
restructed to users and for: or whatever.
currently, the inbox is implemented much like the tags themselves,
just a separate set of tags in parallel. however, global tag subs
usually cause a thousand times more entries to be created than
otherwise, so the inbox actually can't go back that many entries
(they get deleted after 1000 or so items are in the inbox.)
perhaps for: and so the other things that will work like it should
work like the inbox does currently, rather than a normal tag? i'm not
sure.

I think this is a cool idea. It seems to me to be essentially another
inbox, and I think it would be cool to somehow integrate it into
del.icio.us/user/inbox. Maybe users could set whether they'd like
these posts to be private or not?
Maybe users should just automatically be subscribed to the "for:user"
tag when they sign up for an account.

Yes, but not everybody wants to expose every single item. I

varies between users.
We're going to allow purely private stuff, but also private and
shared
with groups, or private and shared with one other person. This is
still
social.

Wouldn't private posts be opposite to the spirit of del.icio.us? I
thought the primary goal was Social bookmarking, not personal
bookmark
storage.
