  blog del.icio.us social-bookmarking tagging

  • There are lots of features in development, many of them social:  privacy: posts which are only visible to the poster groups: more control for community tags like nptech with  permission model; moderated group membership, moderated posting. network: a replacement for the dysfunctional Inbox; identify individuals you find interesting, and see their posts and comments federated identity: allowing users to associate their accounts with those in another community (MySpace, LinkedIn); tools: better tools for "pruning the data garden"; helping the user retag, identify tags used only once.
  • Joshua identified the business model for del.icio.us as being pretty much the same as Google: advertising revenue. But the way in which the value is built is very different. In response to some questions about "auto-tagging", Joshua took issue with the idea of crawling the web for pages and pumping them into del.icio.us, even if the generated tags were accurate. Del.icio.us is full of things that individuals found useful and wanted to remember. Automated discovery would be far less valuable.
  • Del.icio.us now has a staff of 8 and is hiring more. Six of eight are technical staff.
