I was wondering, what is the security ramifications of making local file:// bookmarks? Obviously most would be no use to the community-at-large as far as social aspects, but once you get hooked on tagging, you start wanting to tag every bit of content. For instance, google desktop crawled linked to emails, file locations on your machine related to certain content, etc.
I could see that someone might be able to cause certain actions through file links, like perhaps "file://del *.*" or some such thing, but this just makes me want for private bookmarks.
Right now I simply get an error that states:
only http, https, news, and ftp schema urls are allowed right now. if you have a really good reason i should allow another one, please email [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Perhaps in the future, it could be smarter instead of just destroying all local content tags. For instance, executables are a no-no, or some such thing.
Or, perhaps I just expect more then web-based tagging should allow.
Thanks for allowing the rant!
