Del.icio.us supports filetype-specific searches
Creator Joshua recently announced some cool new http://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:video
RSS/Podcasting Examples:
- ALL music items on delicious as a podcast:
http://del.icio.us/rs s/tag/system:media:audio

In addition, the following types are recognized:
The tag "system:media:image" includes:
- *.jpg as "system:filetype:jpg"

- *.gif as "system:filetype:gif"
- *.png as "system:filetype:png"
The tag "system:media:document" includes:
