Well, this just goes to show that everyone should be using del.icio.us. As far as getting links, I've got an RSS feed from my private whatsit in Bloglines, which I check more-or-less every day. I think actually the links you're sent don't automatically enter your main collection. It's not going to be the case for everyone, but I find that almost everything I send to anyone I also bookmark for myself, in which case there's no difficulty. (Aside: del.icio.us to me somehow follows the gmail rule: collect absolutely everything, throw nothing away, and trust that the search and tagging tools are good enough to find what you're looking for. Very different model to in-browser bookmarks.)

The broble with this scheme is that I often email several people a link simultaniusly. To work this i’d actually have more work, emailing to some, del.icio.using to others. Also since I only use del.icio.us for my browser bookmarks (thanks foxylicous) I’d never notice if someone gave me a link through this method.

Yeah, on the other hand if you send me a link by email I send something back saying “Thanks, it was interesting” or “Thanks, I’ll look at it later”. Guess I’m trying to make the new media work the old way, like always. Just call me Tikitu Luddite (and burn your printing press).

ha, that is how i got referenced in your del.icio.us description. I was wondering how that happened. The other way around is done automatically, as the tag for:tikitu is still in my tag list. But hey, bookmarks are memes. No need to thank me for putting a meme in your head. If i would own those memes i could make good fortune, but i guess it is already licensed under some creative commons license ;-)
