Hi all,

my name is Manuel. I'm developing an app that extracts certain (not
all) links from blog posts. Although the app is not yet completed, my
mind keeps wandering to future 'what-if' toys/features. One of those
possibilities is that of creating a del.icio.us user for my app and
using the API to post the extracted links and the posts' permalinks
combo to del.icio.us under some special tags. I'm not really sure how
this would be useful, I'm just thinking it would be an interesting
experiment. Kind of.

But, legal (privacy of the links) and technical (not pounding the API)
questions aside, I'm deeply worried that this could in any way be
against the letter or the spirit of the TOS or be of any harm to the
community, dilluting the del.icio.us experience in any aspect. That
will certainly kill the idea rigth on the drawing board.

So I'd like to read any oppinions or views or straight prohibitions
about non-human agents posting to del.icio.us. Reading both from some
'official' words from the staffers AND sincere opinions from
passsionate users would be just great.

Many thanks in advance for the responses and many thanks to the staff
for bringing del.icio.us to life.
