See; I don't like this idea because it robs me of valuable metadata about topics I'm interested in following (I subscribe to a number of delicious tags and popular items).</p><p><em>If</em> by default your bookmarks were set to anonymous, such that your name and account weren't associated with them, but your tags (&amp; an option for notes?) were displayed within the community as a whole: Would you still set your bookmarks to private?</p><p>I realise some internal network and local links, notes or URIs with user identifiers may be ultra-sensitive... but perhaps filters for your name and other personal identifiers could be used in those cases to catch and mark as 'private'.</p><p>Yay or nay?
