...Better, Stronger, Faster... a request

I have a quick personal request for the class here:

- Please Please include at least something brief in the NOTES section of your del.icio.us links.

- Please also include plenty of tags on your del.icio.us links. Better too many tags than to have lots of useful information languishing undetected for lack thereof.

- If your Flickr photos (or other links) have generic titles, please revise them for inclusion in del.icio.us.

- Please be aware of when you are logged in, and let's keep personal links out of the urgent emergents list... ;)

I think the reasons for these points are pretty self explanatory. Without good tags we can't find everything we should. Without notes and/or retitling, the hundreds of Flickr photos titled "I-35W Bridge Collapse" or some such can only really be searched by full browse, which defeats the purpose of linking them in the first place. Agreed?

Thank you!

P.S. - In Movable Type, you can approve people's comments on the blogs you've posted. I'll be keeping this one current if anyone has anything to add or debate. Cheers!

Hi Jim, thanks for your suggestions to make it "better, stronger, faster". I'm always about improvement, so many thanks. Also, Kanye West has a song with those words. Love it!

Uh, yeah. That would be me. Sorry about that del.icio.us confusion - in fact, I caught the mistake immediately and hit delete - but sadly, did not confirm 'yes'...Live and learn :)
