That's interesting. Create lists and save posts into them... cool idea. I think I could get behind that.

I imagine a dropdown when you click on 'saved', with a list of possible lists the post could be saved to.

Perhaps 'saved' would just be 'lists', and it would take you to a page where your lists were listed, and where you could create and delete them.

Hm. Some things are ahead of this, but I think it's interesting.

Any thoughts from others?

I think it's a good idea; I've been thinking about using some sort of bookmark managing/categorizing service for a while. Some of the first posts I shared on Hubski were ones I found months or years ago that I loved and had to do some searching for. Having lists of some sort for all the really interesting links you find on Hubski would be nice.

Cool. The more I think on this, the more I think I would use it. I'd love to categorize and save my favorite posts for later reference.

What is your feeling on public vs. private? Either or both?

At the very least private; I don't personally see me using a public list, but I'm not as social as most.

    Perhaps 'saved' would just be 'lists'

I think that might cause some confusion for new hubskiers. A "lists" button doesn't have an obvious or common meaning to most people, whereas a "save" button is pretty straightforward. So perhaps the current save button should open a prompt that asks which list the link should be saved to, so then the term has some context.

I agree, 'lists' is not an optimal name. We will use a better one.

I think it's a great idea. I can envision myself checking out particular hubskiers "lists" as another way of sourcing quality content. I also think it would be able to have a "share my list" link to be able to invite people to check out your list.

That would a lot of fun. I would love to go back through all the old posts that I've shared and start creating my list of my all time favorites.

Cool idea caio
