• Bookmarks posted by priv.at are visible, only who posts them is kept from public view.
Also:
- Bookmarks cannot be removed from your ‘for’ list.
- Who bookmarked an url is stored in the clear on both del.icio.us servers, sourcelabs servers, and also the account used to bookmark things privately is accessible by sourcelabs.
- Bookmarks can’t be sorted or tagged, etc.
Ideas for how to solve above problems:
- Users could ‘authenticate’ themselves potentially by bookmarking a special token – the server would then check to see if the account had bookmarked the token, confirming that the user did indeed have control of the del.icio.us account.
- Users could also potentially authenticate themselves through the del.icio.us API, by handing over their credentials.
