del.icio.us – A little privacy please
One of the things I always liked about Furl better than del.icio.us was that you could actually choose to make some bookmarks private. Just in case you didn’t want the world to know you were a huge fan of rodeo clowns, you could mark those bookmarks as private.
Turns out there’s a way to do it in del.icio.us too, it’s just a little hidden. If you go into settings, look at the list under the “Experimental” subtitle. Choose private saving and you’ll have the option of turning on the ability to bookmark a site privately.
Hey, it’s not a major feature, but it is kind of nice if you want to bookmark something personal that you don’t want the world to see. For example, if you want to bookmark a part of your school site that isn’t public yet, so you don’t want other people to see the link.
Heh, I get excited over the small stuff sometimes

Thanks! This is so useful!
p.s. It isn’t really the ‘small stuff’. It’s big stuff.
