A Suggestion for Del.icio.us - My Top 10

I use del.icio.us for all of my bookmarking: archiving, research, and day-to-day stuff. One thing I find is that there is a set of bookmarks that I user much more frequently than any others - the day-to-day type stuff - and finding these by tag or date requires extra clicks, keypresses, or scrolling to drill down to them.

There’s a simple, unobtrusive tweak del.icio.us could make to help me out with this: start tracking outbound clicks, and maintain a list of my top 10 outbound destinations. My most commonly visited bookmarks will bubble to the top, and I’ll be happy. Those that don’t want to see the top 10 can turn the feature off.

As a side benefit, it gives del.icio.us another very useful popularity metric to aggregate and surface.
