Hi.
I can't quite put my finger on why, exactly, yet, but I'm not
thrilled about "lazy sheep."
We've definitely been burned in the past by alternative posting
interfaces silently corrupting user's data.
I'm also not thrilled about automatic tags and commenting; there

Interesting -- is the idea to just avoid having to go through the

(since you
can just tag something "readlater" anyway), or are you thinking in the
direction of some of the private tagging that's been discussed on
Greetings del addicts,
I have a theory about del feed and bookmark statistical data and using this
within the realms of the whole del social thingamajig to promote user
exploration and perhaps even generate new user to user relationships as a

Joshua,
I definitely understand what you're saying, I did not foresee some of
the problems that are now arising.
The one change that I have made to the code, very recently, is that
the default number of tags 'borrowed' is limited to 6, instead of
'Unlimited'. What was happening before was
Yeah, I guess I don't really see the point of a bookmarklet that just
duplicates the tags and descriptions provided by others...as you
say, the
abuse potential is great and I don't see what the user really gets
out of it:
they'll end up with an erratic tag library that probably won't make

Title: Linkroll by date
Hi,
I'm playing around a
bit with the del.icio.us link rolls feature. So far the script works
just fine, but it does make me wonder if I could take this one step
further and pull the feed in into my daily blog posts, where only today's
posts are selected. I know d
A while ago Joshua said that my "clean feeds" (where a given URL will
only appear in the feed once, rather than whenever it gets posted)
was on the TODO list. Any idea when they might come to fruition?

IIRC, the issue was that every individual user will have a different
view of the "first time" a url is seen, so which to show?
I've been toying with the idea of promoting tags up to urls (right now,
both tags and urls semantically are part of a user's post) and providing
feeds of that, but the
That's pretty much it, exactly. I keep a relatively well-defined tag
library - because I find it to be useful, to me. However, I've simply
run out of time trying to keep it maintained - I just want to throw
my link into del.icio.us and forget it (for now).
I should also bring up that the

I'm really confused as to why you are disabling this - with the

usability for other users and, in fact, many many people find this to

Tagging is all about a way to encapsulate the user's intuition
about the item being saved. This does not provide any of that
functionality.
For most people, it most certainly is. But if the only context within
which a user will use a tagging-based system is by not tagging
anything, ever,
For most people, it most certainly is. But if the only context within
which a user will use a tagging-based system is by not tagging
anything, ever, I say that this is a step in the right direction to
help them move on to something /could be/ more meaningful to them.
However, I feel that
You are not providing a choice, just something that looks like it

Yes, a user does have a decision. The user has made the decision to
use, or not use, the bookmarklet. The user has made the decision to
trust the knowledge and verbiage of other
I think this largely proves my points.

Joshua,
I've done some more thinking and I want to return to a point you made
earlier.
"If the correct solution is an easier way to add all the recommended
tags..."
What if the basic logic flow for Lazy Sheep looked something like this:
If no one has tagged X, go to the normal del.icio.u
I would prefer that it either ask or add no tags.
I suppose we need to standardize and support some sort of "read later"
tag, perhaps system:readlater

How about just system:later? Lots of links aren't meant to be read, and it's
shorter.

Because system:later:download , system:later:forschool and system:later:blogabout would be as valuable as system:later:read
