overdue new year’s resolutions

We’ve been busy: since our announcement in september of our millionth signup, another half-million users have joined the fun. And because of this, we’ve been more quiet then I would like, and I want to apologize.

It feels that we’ve spent almost all of our time uncomfortably bursting at the seams; we’ve always been at pretty much close to capacity. We’ve worked very hard to keep the system as stable as possible and as fast as possible in that time. However, I feel that during this very exciting time for the team I’ve personally had less capacity for talking more openly to the delicious community about what’s been going on. Given that we’ve undergone a lot of changes and have a lot more in store in the future, I want to resolve to be better about communicating.

For starters, even though it feels like we’ve been doing less feature work, we still have been doing weekly releases to improve performance (the new Firefox extension gets a new revision every few days it seems). Going forward, we’re going to be talking much more about what’s changed, where the bugs are, and in general, more explicit about what we’re doing.

While we’ve done some integration work with Yahoo, it’s now time to do more meaningful joint development work to take advantage of all the great technology that a company that does one hojillion hits a day has at its disposal. Doing this is pretty involved, and we’re going to take the opportunity to redo things like the UI and fix many of the less-beloved historical design quirks that still linger from my original implementation. Doing such large changes in the dark is, I think, a huge mistake, and I want to try to have a phased rollout so that everyone can get comfortable as we figure out what the future product looks like.

Late last year, our team was joined by Abe’s team, whose previous project was the backend for the new Yahoo Photos and MyWeb 1 before that. These guys know scalability like nobody’s business. On the front-end, we’ve been joined by Erik and his team of all-around asskickers. And Patrick has built a team to develop a new set of browser plugins that allow for much deeper browser integration. I have high hopes that our expanded team will be able to release a new and tastier delicious someday in the not-too distant future.

We’ve still got many questions to answer — Commas or spaces? In what way should we allow logins from Yahoo!? How should a next-generation API work? Should we do something about the dots in the name? and many more, and I look forward to figuring these things out with you in the future.

Here’s to a new year and a lot more conversation.

    No Y!ID,please!

  • Michael  |  Feb 1 2007 at 9:13 pm

    The best thing would be to fix the Firefox extension so it stops slowing down Firefox startup so much. I unfortunately had to turn it off. :(

  • joshua  |  Feb 1 2007 at 10:25 pm

    @yangfei: we haven’t decided what shape it will take, but we would like to at least let yahoo users in…

    @michael: we are working hard on a faster version of the new extension; when that’s done we will announce it for wide release on the site itself instead of just addons.mozilla.org.

  • Alex  |  Feb 1 2007 at 10:44 pm

    I reckon commas are much better than spaces for tags.

  • Ola  |  Feb 2 2007 at 12:52 am

    Always go with commas as opposed to sapces

  • Stephen Glauser  |  Feb 2 2007 at 1:41 am

    I really don’t hope we see a forced migration to a Yahoo! account like has happened with Flickr lately. That being said, I don’t mind the dots, although a redirection/parallel at delicious.com wouldn’t be too bad. Also, I’ve gotten so used to the spaces on del.icio.us that they don’t bother me any longer. However, most sites I use utilize commas and allow spaces in the tags themselves. Meh, whatever works.

  • Michael  |  Feb 2 2007 at 5:49 am

    Thanks joshua!

  • Joris  |  Feb 2 2007 at 5:54 am

    Commas!

  • Ross M Karchner  |  Feb 2 2007 at 6:58 am

    Hi Joshua–

    Hopefully the “add a new thingy” interface is due for an update ;)

  • pankkake  |  Feb 2 2007 at 7:01 am

    Spaces!

  • Nicola D'Agostino  |  Feb 2 2007 at 8:05 am

    Comma or spaces, whichever you choose please just don’t make it more difficult or longer to add a lot of tags by hand. From a usability POV one character is better than two.

    Also: usually the space(bar) is easier to hit than a punctuation key.

    nda

  • mark  |  Feb 2 2007 at 8:19 am

    improved integration w/ie’s favorites please

  • Stéphane Bortzmeyer  |  Feb 2 2007 at 8:21 am

    For logins, I also hope that we will not be forced to use a Yahoo account (I don’t have one). If you plan to move away from the current system, why not using OpenID? http://openid.net/

  • BillyG  |  Feb 2 2007 at 9:35 am

    I’ve noticed over the past week that searching for anything from my savings just plain sucks, hopefully that is near the top of your list (surely scalability-related - doesn’t Y! have enuff servers, maybe you can lease some from Google lol).

    Stephane: After their recent action with flickr, I wouldn’t hold my breath on that one!

    On the subject of a new UI, bring it on; extracting more easily via the API for visualization apps is my #1 though!

  • Michael Wiik  |  Feb 2 2007 at 9:48 am

    Regarding the Yahoo! ID, you might want to check out Bruce Sterling’s comments at http://blog.wired.com/sterling/2007/02/meanwhile_in_pr.html

  • Grillo  |  Feb 2 2007 at 10:31 am

    user defined in preferences between, spaces and comas ( is it that hard to let people use what the like best by themselves) ? and del.icio.us :) maybe delicious.com redirect to del. but not otherwise.

    One thing I like to see is a special bookmark tag (again, user defined), that will hold items temporally (guess what, the user define for how long ) to keep items he like to be remembered ( so they should display differently on the user home page ) later, but not want to keep it forever.

    tag hierarchy also would be a good thing.

    looking forward to this

    P.S:Mke the new extension work on minefield ( ff3.0 ) new bookmark system ( I think that should be the target since it will change the way bookmarks will work on future versions of ff, to me right now, coding is beeing spent on a product that will ’stop’ working at the end of the year … )

  • grah  |  Feb 2 2007 at 10:59 am

    spaces, dots and no Y! id force switch pls :(

  • Bob  |  Feb 2 2007 at 11:11 am

    How about doing something about the barrage of spam lately on del.icio.us? “porn.blogspot.com” * 1 million is very lame.

  • joshua schachter  |  Feb 2 2007 at 11:17 am

    We’re not going to take away the way tagging-with-spaces works (I prefer it that way) so don’t sweat that part.

    The blog posting “thingy” will get rewritten, along with everything else.

    We’re going to decouple the user name (the thing used in the URL and rss feeds and so on) from the login method.

  • Jeff Staple  |  Feb 2 2007 at 11:29 am

    SPACES!

  • Adam Rice  |  Feb 2 2007 at 11:51 am

    I’ve been thinking about commas vs spaces for something I’ve been playing around with, and I’m currently leaning in this direction: if a comma is detected in the tag field, use commas. If not, use spaces. Minimal added processing cost–there’s probably a way to do it on the client side.

    This leaves the case of a person who wants, say “Alfred E. Newman” as a single tag. This could be solved, of course, by terminating with a comma or embracing with quotes. As long as that was clear to the user.

  • Michael P.  |  Feb 2 2007 at 11:57 am

    I don’t know if everyone should have a Yahoo! ID, but of course it makes a lot of sense to allow Yahoo! users (like me) to use del.icio.us with their Yahoo! ID. It’s a lot easier to do only one log in to access my mail, my home page (My Yahoo!), my photos, my videos, my bookmarks, …

    And I don’t get why some people are afraid to use a Yahoo! ID to access Flickr or delicious, anyway it’s necessary to have a username and password so if it’s called “Yahoo! ID” or “del.icio.us account” it’s the same, except that with a Yahoo! ID you can use many other services with the same username and password. It’s probably better and easier to manage if there is only one log in system (the Yahoo! ID).

    I prefer delicious with no dots (delicious.com), it’s easier to remember and doesn’t look weird.

    I think it’s better to separate tags with commas as it allows tags with multiple words.

    I hope delicious and My Web will merge soon (as announced), to improve delicious (better search in delicious, cached pages, …).

    Mark, you can use the Yahoo! account as an open ID: http://developer.yahoo.net/blog/archives/2007/01/idproxynet_a_gr.html

  • JuujWerks  |  Feb 2 2007 at 12:18 pm

    What about “machine tags” that everyone is talking about?

    http://del.icio.us/search/?fr=del_icio_us&p=machinetags&type=all

    Keep up the great work. I have noticed that, in some cases, del.icio.us is starting to return more relevant search results than google, especially for coding/developer resources. That is quite an accomplishment. In addition, I see google searches occasionally returning del.icio.us pages again proving how well del.icio.us is working.

  • joshua schachter  |  Feb 2 2007 at 12:27 pm

    I have not spent enough time understanding machine tags, but my intuition is that we will not support it in that manner. Not all metadata is tags or should be represented as such.

    No need to shout about spaces! We won’t break the old way it works. I like the way it works now and have been using it for a long time. Adam Rice’s proposal is like what we will probably do.

    Like I’ve said, the screen name and the authentication part will be decoupled anyway.

    We definitely hope to fix the spam thing - I deal with this mostly now and I spend at least a few hours a day on it. Feel free to email me anything you notice anyway; my email is joshua at del.icio.us.

  • joshua schachter  |  Feb 2 2007 at 12:56 pm

    I wish that this blog software recognized blank lines.

    Add that to the list of things that’s going to get replaced.

  • ntux  |  Feb 2 2007 at 2:18 pm

    My initial thought is “Spaces!” but this is trivial. Why not * or % or $ for that matter?

    The thing about portal logins is that my employer’s IT network blocks Gmail and Yahoo!. I use Gmail services anyway, so I really have no use for a Yahoo! login. If you mandate authentication, as Flickr did recently, I may not be able to use del.icio.us from work, which will dramatcially decrease its usefulness.

    Why not leave the old system in place and allow users to choose?

  • Jonathan Rascher  |  Feb 2 2007 at 4:06 pm

    My $0.02:

    Letting people use yahoo logins is cool, but don’t force them to. Pull something like Flickr just did, and I will seriously consider leaving del.icio.us.

    Just use spaces to separate tags. Services that allow tag names to contain spaces usually make it hard to edit the tag list.

    Finally, keep the site at del.icio.us. The slightly odd URL is part of what makes this service special. A redirect at delicious.com is fine, of couse.

  • Jonathan Rascher  |  Feb 2 2007 at 4:07 pm

    And yeah, let people type newlines in blog comments. :)

  • Phil Gomes  |  Feb 2 2007 at 4:51 pm

    Believe it or not, my girlfriend and I have found out that using a del.icio.us cronjob to talk to TypePad is a great way to keep in touch with our families. (Mine is two timezones away. Hers are in Brazil.) The alternative is the blizzard of links and forwards that we get.

    The only problem is the default headline of “links for YYYY-MM-DD”. Would love to be able to change it to, well, whatever I like.

    I, too, am against a wholesale move to a Yahoo ID.

    A tag syntax like Flickr’s is desirable, though. (Space-separated, quotes wrapping phrases, etc.)

  • Amish Direct  |  Feb 2 2007 at 5:05 pm

    Spaces! :-)

  • Nicola D'Agostino  |  Feb 2 2007 at 7:43 pm

    “keep the site at del.icio.us. The slightly odd URL is part of what makes this service special.”

    I definitely second that! :)

    nda

  • Anatoly Lubarsky  |  Feb 2 2007 at 9:59 pm

    1) spaces

    2) please don’t break del.icio.us API

  • Chris Masse  |  Feb 3 2007 at 2:31 am

    #1. del.icio.us

    #2. spaces (not comma plus space)

    #3. I don’t mind the Yahoo! ID. OpenID is a good idea, as someone said.

  • Marjolein Hoekstra  |  Feb 3 2007 at 2:45 am

    Seems you’ve disabled support for HTML-enabled comments in your TypePad blog configuration preferences. Line breaks would have been visible otherwise. You can change that setting here: http://www.typepad.com/t/app/weblog/configure?__mode=feedback&blog_id=xxxxxx#allow_comment_html

    I second Phil Gomes’ plea for a more sophisticated method to publish del.icio.us bookmarks: I’d already be very happy if you would let me change the post title and if you’d publish as a draft. For now I’m quite happy with the animated MuseStorm feed widget - http://www.musestorm.com - that I use on my blog instead.

    Useful dearly desired improvements would be

    - RSS feeds for regular del.icio.us searches in addition to the existing ones for tag searches

    - bookmark permalinks

    - fix field length limitations if possible, otherwise impose forcefully while creating bookmarks

    - offer ways to check whether the “for:” tag really works (see my post about its failure http://www.cleverclogs.org/2007/01/sharing_bookmar.html from a few weeks ago)

    - facilitate “for:” tags for subgroups in a network

    - one-click subscribe to the current view (instead of remembering the username and tag and navigating through several steps to go to the Subscriptions settings panel)

    For those interested: my favorite del.icio.us add-ons are

    1. Familiar Taste script (answering the question “Did I bookmark this page before?”, by Randy Ray at http://www.blackperl.com/javascript/greasemonkey/ft/ )

    2. Tagometer script (answering the question “how many times was this page bookmarked, and with which tags?”, by Oguz Karadeniz at http://members.chello.nl/o.karadeniz/20061221.html

    )

  • Joe Becher  |  Feb 3 2007 at 7:36 am

    I’d like commas, if only so I can use two-word tags.

  • Vanner  |  Feb 3 2007 at 12:49 pm

    OpenID please!

  • Stephanie Booth  |  Feb 3 2007 at 2:59 pm

    spaces spaces spaces spaces spaces

    (one less character to type between each tags for us poor people with RSI)

    Or at least, if you have to go with commas, give us a choice in our user preferences.

    spaces spaces please spaces spaces prettyplease :-)

  • Kosso  |  Feb 3 2007 at 4:59 pm

    I say commas!

    The funny thing is, I was asking this question just the other day on my blog.

    http://kosso.wordpress.com/2007/01/31/a-question-of-tagging/

    I truly think that commas are much more intuitive, especially when it comes to multiple words.

    eg: Manhattan, New York, Cab, Park

    as opposed to Manhattan “New York” Cab Park

    The use of spaces ALWAYS creates unwanted tags with multiple words EVENTUALLY - in my experience

    Clearly tagging systems are still catering for the early adopters (who used quotes here and in flickr) yet now systems like Wordpress go for commas, as it was developed by more people for people.

    Also, the use of commas delimited categories has been in use in XML for longer. Databases too.

    Basically using *any* ‘character’ is MUCH better to use as a delimiter, because a space ‘needs space’ - know what I mean? Also spaces can be whitespace. Which is often ignored in places.

    Commas make sense. We are used to using to spaces list thing: cats, dogs, mice, bears.

    It even makes more sense grammatically, let alone programmitically. ;)

  • Kosso  |  Feb 3 2007 at 5:06 pm

    In fact, I’ll repeat that: Spaces ALREADY have a role to play as a delimiter. To separate words.

    So, if we want to list ‘words as data’ (ie: tags) then we surely must use another character as a delimiter.

    This also means multiple words can be used easily too. It’s the way we already use commas. So use them ;)

  • Gregor J. Rothfuss  |  Feb 3 2007 at 5:46 pm

    No yahoo integration please. del.icio.us is the only yahoo service i use, and i don’t want it to be associated with other yahoo properties.

  • Redza  |  Feb 3 2007 at 7:05 pm

    Need a faster way to delete 50 or ALL bookmarks I think. 982 bookmarks, spring-cleaning takes an awful lot of time. Thanks,

  • Dan Kearns  |  Feb 3 2007 at 11:03 pm

    There’s a lot of early-adopter traditionalism in these comments. Nothing terrible about that…. i’m just saying that certainly needs to be kept in mind. No matter how much the early ways of doing things are beloved of the geeks, they are also the very things that sometimes keep more mainstream users away.

    Personally, I think think the inability to use multi-word tags is a simple and inalterable deal breaker for many people. It takes away user control of their own folksonomy. It’s the major achilles heel of the whole project, IMHO, and its where some real discussion needs to happen.

    BTW, speaking of mainstream users, its clear that Yahoo wants MyWeb people to migrate to Bookmarks, but some of us would love to migrate to Del.icio.us I hope thats going to be possible. But again, the multi-word tags are the key issue…

  • Marc Jones  |  Feb 4 2007 at 7:14 am

    @ ntux: I personally would not like special characters to be used as separators because I use them for “special” tags - eg “!easy” and “*todo”. I like spaces as tag separators because I tend to have my tags as all one word.

    How about doing what Technorati do and have yr tags be linked with a +?

  • David  |  Feb 4 2007 at 8:15 am

    No yahoo log in

  • Michael Wiik  |  Feb 4 2007 at 12:37 pm

    Despite the alarums over possible Yahoo! ID requirement or spaces vs commas, just wanted to let you know I appreciate the idea of talking more with the community (although, as only an occasional reader of the delicious mailing list, I haven’t particularly noticed any lack of participation on your part).

    I’d really like to see roadmaps of what you all have in mind for the progress of delicious.

  • Hilda  |  Feb 5 2007 at 7:42 am

    Joshua, your “original implementation” was great - please do not let Yahoo! mess with the UI - they don’t do elegant. And del.icio.us [with the dots] is fine. If it aint broke…

  • anon  |  Feb 5 2007 at 8:34 am

    Hello, I’m a del.icio.us newbie, can someone explain the function of related tags, for example browsing to http://del.icio.us/mwiik/applications, brings up related tags and I noticed that the tags in the related tags are tagged starting with a + in front of the tags, what does this + symbol mean? I haven’t started bookmarking with del.icio.us yet cause I’m unsure about this feature. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

  • ntux  |  Feb 5 2007 at 2:30 pm

    @Joshua: “should we do something about the dots in the name?”

    I think you lose out on huge amounts of brand recognition if you do.

    @Dan Kearns: “the inability to use multi-word tags is a simple and inalterable deal breaker for many people”

    Actually users of del.icio.us in its present incarnation _are_ able to use multi-word tags, and some of those are hugely popular. E.g., “social_networking” (http://del.icio.us/popular/social_networking), “new_york” (http://del.icio.us/popular/new_york).

    Do you really propose that the above clean, multi-word links be replaced with links like the following: http://del.icio.us/popular/social%20networking?

    As an early-adopting alarmist(wink @Michael Wiik) del.icio.us (note the dots) user, I prefer the already well-established convention of spaces as a tab delimiter. If you look at the above links, social_networking and new_york it is evident why spaces are not necessary. In fact, I hereby propose that the underscore take the place of spaces in all subsequent forms of electronic communication (just kidding).

    @kosso:

    “Spaces ALREADY have a role to play as a delimiter. To separate words. So, if we want to list ‘words as data’ (ie: tags) then we surely must use another character as a delimiter.”

    We ALREADY also have another character to use in place of spaces. I.e., the underscore.

  • mario64  |  Feb 6 2007 at 3:08 am

    Please no Y!ID, but keep the dots, i like :)

  • Dedicated Hosting  |  Feb 6 2007 at 5:22 pm

    I definitely appreciate del.icio.us as bieng one of the best social bookmarking websites, their concept has been really unique and even we bieng a web hosting company, we like to be a part of this big family.

  • Dan Brickley  |  Feb 7 2007 at 5:30 am

    Hi there

    Thanks for asking us :)

    On logins, … please let us log in via OpenID, so that I can choose Yahoo as an OpenID service provider on independent merit. It could also draw in communities from other sites who might not want the hassle of remembering an extra password.

    Re spaces, commas etc., … I guess you’ll need a cross-user solution, … but perhaps some of this can be customised per-user? eg. in my preferences, indicate what conventions I’ve (previously) used.

  • nicole cruz  |  Feb 8 2007 at 3:21 am

    del.icio.us forever!!!

  • Daniel Markham  |  Feb 8 2007 at 12:59 pm

    Commas, pleeeeaaaasssseeee!

    I don’t understand what this love of spaces as a delimiter is all about. Commas are far, far (seeee!) more intuitive as the comma is already used when writing a long series of words. How in the world are underscores/spaces intuitive?

    Many people I know, when I have tried to introduce them to del.icio.us, have balked the idea of the underscore as a way to separate words. It feels unnatural. Bring these people in! Commas!

  • Mortgage Refinance lender  |  Feb 9 2007 at 4:41 am

    I would like to recommend SPACES to be used. Commas also good but the spaces would be much better than commas i thinks so.

  • Francois Jordaan  |  Feb 9 2007 at 4:59 am

    Can I make another* plaintive request for an importer for Powermarks? I would dearly love to migrate my 7000+ tagged bookmarks to del.icio.us, but until an importer comes along I’m trapped.

  • fake  |  Feb 9 2007 at 5:10 pm

    1. Takes steps to prevent, or at least clear, your comment spam.

    2. Stop posting e-mail addresses of your posters.

    As for 2, every fucking other blog site know about e-mail harvesters and DOES NOT PUBLISH E-MAIL ADDRESSES of people who post. Why not you?

  • Hdr  |  Feb 10 2007 at 5:36 pm

    My site used to be listed with about 30-50 tags, for people who enjoy my photograpy, but now it is de-listed. http://www.johninjapan.com/ I have emailed you but never get any response so I am posting here.

  • atomic1fire  |  Feb 10 2007 at 11:49 pm

    Agreed Why not use openID

    all the existing yahoo users can go ahead and use idproxy.net and so you guys would be able to

    (Im an existing yahoo user but could care less what happens)

  • joshua  |  Feb 12 2007 at 2:14 am

    The comment thing uses whatever the default for TypePad is. I’m rooting around in the templates now to remove email addresses.

  • Tobu  |  Feb 13 2007 at 11:50 pm

    As far as Yahoo is concerned: their account policies are spiteful.

    They want your real contact details, subject to account deletion if you don’t comply, including address and phone number (not shown on the registration page but later on according to the TOS).

    On the other hand, they do nothing to acknowledge which data is the property of the user or ensure its availability outside of the service.

    This is not appropriate for something like del.icio.us, which is almost entirely built on the user’s efforts.

  • Tobu  |  Feb 14 2007 at 1:30 am

    On to the more interesting stuff…

    ____ 1. When browsing for a tag in one’s bookmarks, the yours - all - popular links are useful, but would be still more useful if a preview of some of their items or an indication of how many items there are was shown.

    ____ 2. I don’t see a UI for listing all items with tags within a certain bundle. The reason you would do this is to make bundles more useful as OR searches in the corpus; for example, I want to get all/mine/popular items tagged with Caml OR OCaml OR ML (loose synonyms), advertising OR marketing OR PR (related themes). Proposed URL scheme: http://del.icio.us/bundle/User/advertising - http://del.icio.us/bundle/all/User/advertising - http://del.icio.us/bundle/popular/User/advertising .

    ____ 3. Once you’ve allowed bundles to work as meta-tags, tag implication and inferred bundles (and taking over Google) are next on my agenda, but I’ll let you figure that out ;)

  • Dictionary  |  Feb 14 2007 at 11:41 pm

    Commas are far more logical choice.

  • mark  |  Feb 15 2007 at 12:48 am

    I am also in favor of comma as a choice

  • prachi  |  Feb 15 2007 at 1:08 am

    I wish you would also incorporate an ability to post comments to a bookmark someone posts for me - something like what digg currently has…

  • alex  |  Feb 15 2007 at 2:30 am

    Yes! I agree with you all, comma is a choice.

  • barry  |  Feb 15 2007 at 1:27 pm

    Another voice in favor of killing the spam.

    I was reporting spammers for a long time, and had a friendly rapport with support@del.icio.us which gave me the impression that the site was being diligent about moderating and keeping the spam in check.

    Then one day not long ago I didn’t get a response to a spammer I reported. I submitted a couple more, no response. I submitted another, and asked if anyone was reading my emails. No response.

    Finally I reported another spammer and asked if I should even bother reporting them anymore, or if del.icio.us had given up on spam. No response from del.icio.us again.

    I hope del.icio.us doesn’t turn into a crappy SEO tool, but it sure looks like that’s where things are headed :’( If nothing else, I learned that support@del.icio.us is now a black hole.

  • Dear AL  |  Feb 15 2007 at 6:16 pm

    Here’s a good bug for ya, Joshua. None of the tags I’ve just tried to delete would delete, even after I’ve been told that all instances of those tags have been deleted.

    Can you please fix this problem. Thanks!

    I’d second the use of commas or spaces. I often put commas in since I work with databases so much and it ends up looking like a link “photoshop,”

    Otherwise, love the service!

    I would too like to go with COMMAS rather than spaces as it is much better and choosable.

    It would be good to login from Yahoo, MSN and Google.

    Those concerned about the migration to commas over spaces might want to check out Scripted Re-Mark http://ghill.customer.netspace.net.au/re-mark/ which lets you search/replace on your tags with regular expressions. -Greg.

    We’re definitely not going to take spaces away, but it may be the default for new users and an option for people who want to switch. Don’t sweat it.

    Sounds fair,I’m happy either way.Spaces and commas are only a single click of a key anyway.

    as far as i understood i can combine favorite tags (in my firefox del.icio.us toolbar) only with AND (which is done automatically). the search function on my del.icio.us webpage supports NOT, OR and XOR.

    i’m already waiting a long time for these, at least for NOT to work for the favorite tags toolbar.

    Always go with commas as opposed to sapces.
