Ref:

In this space I will chronicle my many del.icio.us wishes and Lazyweb requests. Feel free to leave your own in the comments.

Create a del.icio.us user recommendation script/engine. The end result would be a list of users (ala Audioscrobbler’s “musical neighbors”):

The most closely matched people based on purely similar linkage. If someone has linked to 60.7% of the things I have linked to, I probably want to subscribe to that user.
The most prolific linker based on similar linkage. I want to know, based on similar linkage, who linked it sooner more often. I want to find people who find new things and/or are on the front end of memes I am interested in.
The most prolific linker based on popularity. Same idea as above, just for all del.icio.us. (Perhaps date of post compared to most recent post by another user could be a factor in some of these calculations?)

Create functionalities around the subscribe/inbox tools

Show me all the people who subscribe to my links
Show me all the people who my subscriptions link to, and possibly even 3rd degree connections (perhaps only multiply-related subscriptions)

Bring back the popularity shading! (I had forgotten about this until the recent redesign. A long time ago, the links were shaded darker based on link popularity. Now all there is to tell them apart is a number… how boring!) (I notice the somewhat old way of shading still exists on the popular links page, and a new green-tinted way is being done on the del.icio.us homepage.)
