for:bradfeld
Fred Wilson clued me into a fun use of del.icio.us. He calls it the “for:“ tag. He set one up for his wife Joanne (Gotham Gal). Whenever he wants her to see something on the web, he simply tags it “for:gothamgal”.
I just set up a for:bradfeld tag in del.icio.us. Then – I subscribed to it in NewsGator. If you run across something on the web you want me to see, just tag it.
Interesting, I’ve never seen anyone use the for: tag without having a corresponding del.icio.us account. Congrats on innovating!
This isn’t right anymore, alas. /tag/for:bradfeld will redirect to /for/bradfeld and you must be bradfeld to see that page or rss feed.
You should tell people to tag things as for:bfeld (because that is your username) and you should go to http://del.icio.us/for/bfeld and get the RSS feed from there (because it is a private RSS feed.)
