Hello,

I tried to send this message about 2 months ago, but was denied as I
wasn't a member of the list.  I figured that wouldn't matter because
eventually a moderator would get to my post.  Guess not.  You guys
really should have responsive moderators if you want the anonymous
public to get legitimate messages though and get mailing list time.

And so the original message continues.

I've been using delicious for a few months now and thinks its a
semi-interesting idea that has some good uses.  One thing that I'm
confused about is why when I go to my page on delicious
(del.icio.us/albino) and do a search for an entry I've posted can I not
edit that entry as I would if I had done: My Page --> Find bookmark
(Probably Ctrl-F with browser) --> edit/delete.  Your search should be
useful for editing and deleting too.

Also while were at it with the suggestions.  You guys should look into
suggestions.  I mean, say I'm browsing someones bookmarks and I find
that some one has made a typo on one of their tags for one of their
entries.  I could be able to send them a "fix".  Then when they login
next they should have a a page somewhere that lets them click _one_
button to accept the change.  I would prefer something that looks like:

Fix from $username:
Suggest changing tag on bookmark $link_bookmark_title to $corrected_tag_name
$link_accept $link_deny $link_ignore_suggestions_from_this_user_forever

Or better yet, just a plain tag suggestion:
Suggest adding tag on bookmark $bookmark_title to $suggested_tag_name
$link_accept $$link_deny $link_ignore_suggestions_from_this_user_forever

You get the general idea.  Then people could setup white lists for
friends that they trust to be able to automatically suggest fixes.  This
way when I make a typo or forget a tag people I know can help me to
correct this.  Its not just social bookmarking, its _collaborative_
social bookmarking.

If you ever get around to implementing the suggestions+friends white
list idea you should keep revision history on changes so I can revert to
what I had before if I disagree with a friend.  After all, they are my
bookmarks.  But thats more of a feature request on top of a feature
request.

Please add me to the CC for replies, I'm not subscribed to this list.

Thanks

Dan

PS Is there a good place for feature requests for delicious?  If not I
think you guys should setup an email address or something. I couldn't
find anything on the website and this mailing lists seemed like the best
place to me.  I apologize if it's off-topic.
