If you believe in open data, I urge you to email support@favbot.com, and ask that the delicious data is made available outside of favbot. That way, it isn't just put in another walled garden. [Disclosure: I want to hack more code that uses social tagging data.] Here was my email: Dear FavBot, Could you update your delicious importer, and please add an option to allow users to publicly share their delicious links? There are a bunch of researchers who would like to use social tagging data. Getting a clean data set, from consenting users, would be awesome. So if you could help this process, since you have built the data collector, that would be great. It would also be a good way to promote your site. If you can collect the data, I can get you hosting for the bulk dump. Best, Joseph
