Some time this Spring, I ran across a bookmark (I can't remember whose) that was tagged with via: Since I was already interested in tag systems, this caught my eye. It was easy to infer that via: was intended to be a corollary to the for: tag, albeit an unofficial one. I started using via: to credit the sources of my own bookmarks; intermittently at first, then more consistently as I found the strategy to be useful. Now that I've been using via: for a few months, I have a nice record of who my links are coming from. This has even helped me to select people to add to my network. The thing is that it's a bit of a pita to type via:username out by hand each time I save one of someone else's bookmarks. So I have written a bookmarklet to do it for me (I also made a version that adds in the other person's tags as well). I thought I would share the bookmarklet with this list (see the link above). I've learned much useful information while lurking here ~.^ so I hope that this bookmarklet will be a contribution that someone else finds useful. == For those who are interested, here are two articles which I have run across recently, about the use of via: http://webworkerdaily.com/2007/05/10/8-tips-for-better-delicious-bookmarking/ http://aqualung.typepad.com/aqualung/2007/02/a_reputation_ec.html and here is my previous post regarding tag systems: http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/ydn-delicious/message/971
