Some­times there are videos or sites with sounds in gen­eral that office work­ers can’t view or watch to their fullest because of sound require­ments.  Why can’t we “watch” or “track” a video we could watch when we get home –with­out giv­ing it a “digg”?

Giv­ing the story a Digg implies to all of our friends that we liked the story.  To those that pass our RSS feeds onto our friends that could give a false sense of how good a clip is.    What we need is some­thing we could put into a pri­vate store essen­tially.   By mov­ing it into a pri­vate store it allows Digg to hide this from other users and not pro­mote a pos­si­ble unwor­thy story.

What I envi­sion is a link on the actual arti­cle page (not the arti­cle list­ing page) that allows you to “track”, “book­mark”, or what­ever other term you wish to use to mark this to your pro­file.   There is no rea­son you should have to use a third party site such as del.icio.us or youtube favorite or “fill in the blank” to per­form this fea­ture for you.  It could even be con­sid­ered a pri­vate invis­i­ble digg.

There is plenty of room on the pro­file tab for this to fit, so it wouldn’t break the design. Hav­ing this fea­ture seen only by the pro­file holder would keep this as another option for gam­ing the sys­tem this includes no RSS feeds for these items.   All in all I can’t fig­ure out a real down­side to this.

Please Digg help office work­ers find the videos they want to watch later with­out giv­ing them a pos­si­ble unwor­thy digg.
