I'm really starting to wonder about the private bookmarks idea. I'm still open-minded about it, but there are definitely concerns. Of course Joshua and crew can look out for their own interests themselves, but it seems like they would essentially be providing infrastructure services to various businesses pro bono. On the other hand, I can't imagine that storing proprietary information on a remote server is at all within the bounds of common employment regulations. Will providing private bookmarks expose del.icio.us to liability if people use it to bookmark their company's latest beta test results? If del.icio.us implements "private" bookmarks, won't some slew of legal disclaimers be necessary, for possible cases like system failures where private information leaks out? Will this give people an incentive to try and compromise the system, if they figure out that someone works for Google and is bookmarking with del.icio.us, and they really want to see those private links? Just questions --- The decision won't really affect me, other than that I like del.icio.us and want it to continue thriving. -- -John Sullivan -http://www.wjsullivan.net _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@del.icio.us http://lists.del.icio.us/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/discuss
