Re: Auto suggest considering other public bookmarks of the same address/site

So, now that I am an actual user of Pinboard, can I bump this and get an answer please? :)

Hello.

I'm strongly considering joining Pinboard as it seems a better option to me when compared to Delicious (or whatever it became during the last few years).

I read the whole features overview page and noticed the auto-suggest tags feature seems to be based solely on my own bookmarks. I also searched through this forum but couldn't find any similar suggestions. So, here it goes...

One feature that used to work very well on Delicious (some good few years ago though) was that it also analyzed public bookmarks from other users to come up with suggestions when adding/editing your own. I assumed it based suggestions on identical bookmarks and possibly from the same domain as well.

I understand Pinboard is WAY more concerned with privacy but it seems to me that that in this case there's no issue at all as users are able to mark both bookmarks and tags as private. This feature is one of the very reasons why "social bookmarking" has benefits when compared to private.

Anyway, just wanted to ask if that's something that could be considered...

Thanks!

It's been suggested by numerous people and I think it's a good idea.
