Thanks Kevin, I noticed this trick as well. But as you mentioned, its not efficient at all. Looping through a network of 300 friends will take forever.
How hard could this be to build for the delicious team: http://del.icio.us/feeds/json/network/[USER_ID]/[TAGS_TO_SEARCH] ... and have a variant as well ... http://del.icio.us/feeds/json/network/[USER_ID]/[TAGS_TO_SEARCH]/? mutual=true ... to search only mutual friends/fans in the network. I think I'll try StumbledUpon or BlueDot. I've heard good things about both of them.
