Saving Duplicate Bookmarks?
Submitted by josalyngervasio on Fri, 2007-02-23 04:16.
While checking out some of the del.icio.us posts for 5weeks, I noticed Michelle's article listed twice. This confused me a bit. I realize that through social bookmarking we may begin to start adding/saving the same bookmarks leading to a folksonomy. However, the title being listed twice is what confuced me instead of listed once saved by X amount of people. Maybe it was saved differently, thus creating two entries or maybe I'm confused (it's quite possible that I'm seeing double at 11pm right now). Anyway, it just seems that this would create an overlap - could someone explain why two entries exist?
Thanks :)

Josalyn, that's just how
Josalyn, that's just how those tag pages/feeds work in del.icio.us. Each time the page is tagged, it appears again as another entry on that tag page.
Other views, such as of a particular user's bookmarks or the del.icio.us/popular page will only show each bookmark once. But the tag pages are like a tickertape of each page that has just been tagged "5weeks" or whatever. If everyone in the class tags the same page "5weeks" you will see it once for every person who tags it on the tag/5weeks page.
