Del.icio.us supports filetype-specific searches
Creator Joshua recently [announced](http://blog.del.icio.us/blog/2005/06/casting_the_net.html) some cool new [http://del.icio.us](del.icio.us) features that let you search for filetypes. Here’s the rundown:
Bookmarked items in del.icio.us that end in one of a number of filetypes will now automatically get some system tags added. You can use these just like normal tags. RSS feeds that have one of those system tags added will automatically become a rss-with-enclosures file.
The tag "system:media:audio" includes
- *.mp3 tagged as "system:filetype:mp3"
- *.wav tagged as "system:filetype:wav"
The tag "system:media:video" includes
- *.mpg tagged as "system:filetype:mpg"
- *.mpeg tagged as "system:filetype:mpeg"
- *.avi tagged as "system:filetype:avi"
- *.wmv tagged as "system:filetype:wmv"
- *.mov tagged as "system:filetype:mov"
Examples:
- ALL music items on delicious:
http://del.icio.us/tag/system:media:audio- mp3s tagged as "mashups":
http://del.icio.us/tag/system:filetype:mp3+mashups- ALL video items on delicious:
http://del.icio.us/tag/system:media:videoRSS/Podcasting Examples:

(a nice client for this is ANT at http://www.antisnottv.net/)In addition, the following types are recognized:
The tag "system:media:image" includes:
- *.jpg as "system:filetype:jpg"
- *.jpeg as "system:filetype:jpeg"
- *.gif as "system:filetype:gif"
- *.png as "system:filetype:png"
The tag "system:media:document" includes:
- *.pdf as "system:filetype:pdf"
- *.doc as "system:filetype:doc"
Now its even easier to tap into the collective consciousness of the internet and actually find some good stuff.
