del.icio.us?

Do any of you feeblers use del.icio.us? I was thinking it might be handy if we tag potential story ideas in del.icio.us with a unique tag. For example: Leo, for his TWiT shows, has people tag their links with show-specific tags, e.g. "mbwideas" for MacBreak Weekly story ideas, etc. We could tag ours "ffideas" (feeble force ideas) or something ismilar. Tagging lnks in del.icio.us is real easy, there are really handy 1-click tagging buttons for most of the common browsers (Safari and Firefox for sure, probably IE too). What do you guys think? BTW My del.icio.us username is "dburr"

Already happening

In true Feeble Force fashion it's already happening but isn't documented any where and is being done two ways to keep you on your toes!

Dan created a Del.icio.us user by the name of FeebleForce:
http://del.icio.us/feebleforce
So you can add that user to your network. And then send that user items with "for:feebleforce" as a tag.

And some of us are using the tag "feebleforce":
http://del.icio.us/tag/feebleforce

With any luck someone is looking at these before each show. Or not, depending on many factors I suppose. Of course any good Feeble Force'r should be ready to make stuff up at a moments notice. That is what all our procrastination is for isn't it?

I am mjohnson16 if you wish to add me to your network:

Have fun!

Just thought of something...

Just thought of something... if we used the same tags as the other feeblers do, then how can we prevent ourselves from covering a story that the other group is going to cover... or how can we prevent them from snagging one of ours? Although, if both podcasts were to go over the same story, that would be befitting our name...

Not too worried

I don't see that as a big deal. If it's a big story then the separation of time and the different opinions might actually make it more interesting.

Besides, Dan and I are thinking it might be fun if we are podcasting on opposite schedules. SO we will know what they covered before we record and they will know what we covered before they record. If anyone decides to double dip then so be it.
