Del.icio.us discovery
April 25th, 2005
Perhaps I’m missing some wonderful site out there, but I am having trouble discovering the links discovered by people I know without specifically asking them, “What’s your del.icio.us name?” Is there an easier way to find people I know on there?
If you’re keeping links on del.icio.us, let me know so I can subscribe to your links.
I’m really looking for some women keeping del.icio.us links — my inbox is quite masculine at the moment. I need to girly it up.
If you’re looking for my links, they are at http://del.icio.us/leias.

This is one of the reasons why I wish del.icio.us and Flickr and 43Things and everybody else out there would adopt some kind of FOAF-like XML structure, so we could have one ginormous profile that we could update with all the appropriate information. If you signed up for one service, you could link to your FOAF-like profile and wham! It’d autopopulate your profile and autobuild all the appropriate links to all your friends that are already part of the system.
I mean, c’mon. Wouldn’t that be more convenient than dozens of “Come join Yahoo!360″ emails from all the people you linked to way back on Friendster?
PS: This is why I don’t have a del.icio.us profile yet, BTW.
Is it just me, or is del.icio.us not allowing new inbox subscriptions right now? My username is ‘barkingmoose’ on there, by the way, but I’m not girly enough so I guess I’m disqualified.
I seem to be able to add subscriptions to my inbox, Mike. I added yours since you have Kelly Clarkson references.
I’m evaporated. I keep forgetting to use it, though. Argh.
