That's the exact opposite of being a spiritual successor to Delicious.
It wasn't about hoarding personal data and keeping it secret. It was about sharing it publicly, like Twitter, and people following each other based on either personal connection or just a shared interest graph.
- derbOac 4y agoFWIW, this sort of thing (Delicious-like) always struck me as a good use case for decentralization.
- joshu 4y agothe big value of delicious was the central aggregation, which becomes difficult in a decentralized manner that said, i always wanted to split delicious up into "islands" of ~50k users or so, and allow each island determine it's own local rules. and if you didn't like your island, you could go elsewhere. yahoo wouldn't entertain this idea at the time.... this was before subreddits happened but the success of subreddits suggests to me that i was directionally correct
- AlchemistCamp 4y agoHow would the popular page work, then (either globally or per tag)? That was one of the biggest things I got out of Delicious… basically Reddit without the comments.
- hiccuphippo 4y agoSearch from a webring of Delicious sites.
- derbOac 4y agoThat's a good question. I'm not sure I have a good answer. My guess is it would maybe vary a bit from user to user?
