OK. Yes. +1. We do need an implementation though :)
I would rather the structure be:
/users/burton/private/default.psml
if the user wants this page to be public it will then change to
./public/default.html
Shared is interesting... OK... but shared with what group of people? I
am -1 on this feature until we figure out a way for users to share
content with groups in a similar manner.
The really cool... It implements something I have been thinking about
for a while... shared browsing experience. IE I should be able to look
at the home page of a user with a similar content preference... you like
OSS, great... let me see your home page :)
