Hands-On del.icio.us

http://del.icio.us/noelegance

Been using it about three months now and love the way I can organize bookmarks on the fly. I also love using the tag cloud as a cartogram of my collected interests.

Features I thirst for:
  • Batch delete bookmarks by tag set (del.icio.us will strip the tag without deleting the bookmark)
  • Batch share/hide by tag set (share or hide all within a found set)
  • Full Boolean search/filter within tag sets (today it will do AND but not OR or NOT)
  • Hierarchies of meaning within tags and bundles: today you get three levels of account, bundle, tag.
  • Visual management tools for drag-and-drop organizing of bookmarks, tags, and bundles. Imagine organizing your tags with FreeMind and having changes reflected directly in your bookmark set.
  • Visual and syntactical "relationship exploring" among tags, expandable to show the links in each tag set. Check out this extraordinary "audiomap" visualizer for music, TuneGlue. Now imagine a dynamic space where your tags show their relationships to each other by word stem (map, mapping, maps are all close together in a cloud) and by meaning (this cloud is near cartography and geography).
  • Word stem searching of tags, so that related terms show up in the same search.
Perhaps someone already does these things and I haven't found how. If you discover this blog, then post back and let me know!
