Possible Secret Word System

Normally, your favorites feed URL ends in your user ID and is accessible from your public profile. This is called "sharing" your favorites.

I'm considering allowing users to make their favorites RSS feed "secret" by setting a "secret word".



The secret word must be one word containing all lowercase letters. This secret word replaces your user ID in the feed URL. So long as you don't tell anyone your secret word, they won't be able to see your favorites RSS feed (setting a secret word causes the public feed page to return a "cannot find feed" error).

If your secret word were ever revealed, all you'd have to do to make it secret again is assign a different word. Additionally, the last three secret words you used are reserved in case you ever want to go back to that word.
