Requested Features For Bookmarking
- Can we have a details view for a bookmark? In the details view users will be allowed to leave comments and vote on the bookmark? Maybe also have section like "Other users also bookmarked this"
Can we have a count on the bookmark widget?

- All great ideas, though I haven't seen great treatments of multiple views on items, and most people stick to one anyway. Voting is certainly easy to add to our current "simple view" and we're certainly planning that for the near future.
Comments is interesting: I've seen this on Digg of course, but I haven't seen a lot of value happening in the converstations about a link. Delicious doesn't support comments... what kind of conversation would you envision happening there? Discussing the value of the link? Something more qualitative than the simple up/down vote?
If that's the case, I'd suggest we instead use an expand/collapse method like we do for the forum thread preview. (although I'm not the designer...)
"other users" is already there... look for the "saved by ## people" dropdown on each bookmark.
Chris Slemp, Evangelist, MSDN and TechNet - Does everyone get to type in a separate description? Maybe the ability to view everyones descriptions and vote on them instead of comments? Best description at the top. Also there is another view already I think. When I edit my bookmark or use the bookmark link thing it takes to a different page.
I want to see the count on this thing here
Bookmark on Msdn Widget

It doesn't add value for you but for me instead. If I put this on my page and shows "Bookmarked By 5000 People On Msdn" it would be pretty cool.
Voting for the best description is interesting. I believe that the first description recorded for a URL is the one we show. It could certainly be smarter than that.
We've also heard the request for a value on the widget from more than one person.
Great input, thx.

That is an interesting concept and maybe a 'voting' (ala Digg) for the best description which would become the primary description.Chris Slemp said:The API & community should be able to 'fork' up much of this but some basic widget examples from MSFT Social wouldn't hurt either.We've also heard the request for a value on the widget from more than one person.
