Hi Joshua, Sometimes when I find a link I enjoy, I'll bookmark it and "for:" it to a number of people. Of course there are bound to be people I want to share it with but do not currently have a del.icio.us account. I'd love to also tag to their email: " for:[EMAIL PROTECTED]" When I do that it would send out an email to that address with the link. (and whatever other information needs to be included)
In addition to providing some great functionality to your userbase, it's also a great way to turn your users into evangelists and spread the value of del.icio.us to their friends. Friend: "Hey, i noticed you sent me a link yesterday using something called delicious? what's that all about?" I'm posting on this thread because I tried to duplicate this functionality by just bookmarking like that.. Then I was going to set up something to watch the rss feed on that for: page and shoot off emails. That's when I saw there is no private rss feed for the for: tags. :( I'll take either feature, but I definitely think the former would be warmly welcomed by all del.icio.us users.
