Sadly, I foresee a future where you have to whitelist everything in order to be truly safe. You got screwed over by two characters.

- kragen 15y agoThat's where we were pre-Google; we called the whitelist our "bookmarks".
- jshen 15y agobut it can be more automated than bookmarks. One idea, imagine if your searches searched pages across all your friends bookmarks and your own. Bookmarks isn't the right term, imagine if it were really easy to say "this I validate", then everyone that trusts you will be able to search that as well.
- kragen 15y agoThat's a really good idea. I wonder why Delicious never did that. They had your "friends" list and all your friends' bookmarks. I'll implement it in yamemex for sure!
- jshen 15y agoI've wanted to build something like my idea for years, but it's not something you can do on the cheap. I've thought about focusing on some vertical to make it cheaper, but meh.
- rokekr 15y agoblekko.com looks to be doing something similar to what you described
- jshen 15y agowhat are they doing?
- msbarnett 15y agoBasically they're letting people create "slashtags" that restrict a search to a customized list of sites. Eg) I have one for /objc that searches a half-dozen high-quality, good signal-to-noise, non-spammy objective-c related sites, so that if I search for "timers /objc" I get only quality content and no farmed spam. There's a lot more to it but they've essentially farmed out the job of whitelisting the non-spammy parts of the internet to their users. Edit: and more to the point of what you were desribing, you can easily use other people's public slashtags, and it will detect and suggest relevant ones as you use it. It's totally worth playing around with.
- jshen 15y agoThat's very close, if they let me search my friends slash tags all at once it would be perfect.
