The pain of having multiple social bookmarking accounts
03.20.06Anybody know a good solution to the problem of wanting more than one (like personal and work) social bookmarking accounts? If you're logged into one, you've pretty much got to log out of it and log into the other if you want to switch. This is totally counterintuitive to the river of content that is web 2.0. Workflow or tech solutions anyone? The best I can think of is to just use two different systems. Save work in Spurl.net and personal in del.icio.us, for example. Really no fun, though. And it complicates the use of otherwise fantastic tools like OnlyWire.
Maybe if I link to Identity Woman she'll come save the day and help us out with some ideas or perspective.

delicious now has privacy settings, if that solves your need. But the original question should be why do you want two accounts?

The privacy settings, finally offered today or yesterday, should help some people for sure. But I think having a work, maybe even shared, account and then another personal account ought to be possible and it is technically very difficult to pull off when it comes to use right now.

Hey there,
I don’t konw if I have ‘the answer’ but I would point you and your audience to itags.net where we are working on open standards for tagging that includes your identity as a tagger - so you can ‘own’ your own tags along with seeing what other folks are tagging the same objects (even if they do so in different system)

check out Pukka –
one of my coworkers here at EchoDitto, justin, built this app for mac os to address this very problem — lots of us have several persona/work delicious accounts

Hi Marshall,
I use a Firefox extension that lets me toggle easily between different del.icio.us accounts — in my case, I have personal account but also we’re using del.icio.us in the workplace.

[…] Marshall Kirkpatrick brings up a whole other issue - the pain of having multiple social bookmarking accounts. He wants to be able to separate work from personal links rather easily. I sort of do that via private links in BlinkList but it is annoying to have to always check that box. And my personal tags still show up in my account (even though I’ve told them they shouldn’t), although viewers can’t actually access them. […]

FWIW, my ListMixer service does not require a login — each bookmarklet is hardwired with a unique ID which serves as username + password. So you can install one LM bookmarklet for each account and click whichever one at any time.
Cheers- Sid

Whoops- I only now realized you’d written up ListMixer on socialsoftware. Sorry about that- Sid
P.S. Has LM worked out for you? Any suggestions? Thx.

Yes! I have had the same problem for a long time. It makes my work flow really inconvenient. The people at Diggo couldn’t even seem to understand the need for having different identities to post from. I use bookmarking for business purposes, for my personal blog, and just when I run accross something interesting.
I hope there is a good solution out there. It seems like it could be as simple as a box I click when I add the bookmark.

The easiest solution would just be to run more than one browser - both Camino and Safari for example.
