"Star" Modules that you come across and think are interesting

[drool]

Often when I'm searching for something on CPAN, I find other cool things that I would like to use some day. Essentially, that means I will need to find it again. The current approach of bookmarking them creates a mess.

A feature like "starring" a Module, similar to what Google Reader does would be much appreciated. Is there a bigger interest in this than just me?

You could use the ++ button for this if there was a page where you could go to view all the modules you've "favorited"

[drool]

Right. But even if there was a page to see the ++-ed modules, I would rather ++ a module, after I have used and tested it and think it's worth a ++ :)
So i guess the feature request should still be kept here for discussion?

[rwstauner]

Agreed, I often use the "star" to mean "come back to this later" rather than "i love this",
so it would be a nice feature to have both.

I think this is where tagging would come in. Something like "bookmark" or "star" could be a special tag for this case.

Bumping this. Maybe we'll get it in as a Christmas present over the holidays?
