Totally agree.

And del.icio.us seems to be the highest common denominator — it can tag Flickr photos (not to mention news, blogs, videos), but Flickr doesn’t pretend to be able to tag anything else but photos.

Thus we’ve recently generated some ‘BlewsWire‘ feeds, created from ‘blews’ tagged items at del.icio.us. You can see it in use on Blews.Network sites.

And yes, I believe we can develop effective categories as well. For instance, there we’ve developed a ‘CCDA BlewsWire’ especially in time for this week’s CCDA convention.

Or CityReaching BlewsWire for great stories, articles, photos, or videos of value to the cityreaching movement.

And you’ll see a DeliciousChristians.com network forming — already with 80 innovative Christian taggers included.

It’s at least a start. Everyone’s thoughts would be greatly helpful.

Good news: I contacted delicious support about a Flickr-type group. I got this reply this morning:

We’re working on things like this! For now, the specific tag is a
popular approach. Also, some groups use a shared account for this.
Neither option is quite as good as Flickr’s groups…yet.

So maybe we wait for the group idea?

I have been thinking about this same idea as well. Could we all talk and collaborate on this idea and see if we could get something created?

I like that idea, Kevin…especially a wiki. I guess what I was thinking was more of an open system so that no one is “in charge”. We just contribute. There might have to be an admin like a Flickr group, but that can be passed around and it’s only to monitor that what goes in is okay. I like your list, just like I like ours. But that’s just it. Would love to see a community-grown list that has one URL (and RSS feed) so that we can all contribute. Wouldn’t cancel out our own lists, but the idea is we’d be drawing from and contributing to that list. Seems delicious can do it with a unique tag, but it’s just not exactly there. Guess that could be a start? If so, what tag?

Hey Rob, we’ve actually talked about building something like this. It started off as a glorified resource list (our famed “Don’t Suck List”) but the more we get into it the more it sounds like a del.icio.us/Flickr thing. Brad actually hinted at it when he talked about future CFCC ideas. We’ve been in talks with a few people to see about making it happen, but we’re just starting down that road.
