Hi,
It seems to me that del.icio.us could offer personalized social news
and search by allowing people to explicitly form communities that
represent subgraphs of the web.
Each community would have an owner who would have control over its
membership. Each member of a community would designate some subset of
their bookmarks as web pages for that community. The owner may ban
unhelpful members from contributing any bookmarks.
One can be a member of many communities, contributing a different
subset of bookmarks to each one.
As these communities would be relatively small and made explicit to
del.icio.us, detecting changes and computing pagerank or something
similar could be done quite quickly.
And so, one might expect to get something that approximates
personalized social news and search as a result.
Note that this is a bit different from using social networks for this
purpose. The focus is not so much on people here. Any linking that
occurs within the community occurs between web pages, not people.
