    I think it would improve the impression of the quality of the content if it was possible for us to exclude specific tags, especially the tag used with quickD, as those posts may need some extra tags or comments before they are suitable for the user's main tag listing. I can also see other reasons too why it would be useful to state in the profile which tags should not be listed in the bookmarks front page.

    PS. If something like the above gets implemented, we would need a new menu link to a full list of "all my bookmarks". My main motivation with this suggestion is to have some influence on how great my own bookmarks list looks to others, and also to exclude too-quickly-added bookmarks from the main RSS feed that others may use. Just as a qualty control, and it will give extra flexibility or activity too as we would be able to add more bookmarks with quickD, not having concerns of whether I want this particular link to show up on my follower's web sites.

    Notice that those bookmarks tagged with tags that excludes them from the main personal bookmarks listing are still available when clicking on the tags in the tag cloud. They are just not listed in the main bookmarks list.

    Thinking further on this, I guess that such a feature would be better if we could say that it applies only to bookmarks tagged ONLY with one of "those" tags (given in a user defined list in the profile) and not with any other tags (ie. single-tag posts). That would be very practical.

    How about we provide an option "Set QuickD as private by default". When this option is checked, all QuickD bookmarks are private. Then these bookmarks will not be presented when other people access your bookmark list.

    Yes, that would be a good start, that sounds like less work and quicker for you to implement too.

    But the other point here (further down the road) is to register tags or groups that can be used to keep public items away from the "main stream".

    Think of it this way:
    My main bookmarks listing is "my reputation" builder, or my "badge" (will get back to some other concepts around "badge" later as a different suggestion).

    I want the best bookmarks there (on my main page, the one my followers and any new visitors see first), and lots of other bookmarks appearing only when accessing the tag views (lists of bookmarks within a tag or tag group).

    The prouder I get from using this service, the more addicted I will be :-)
