Users tend to use the Bookmarks feature here as a wishlist for plugins or a way of saving threads. It easily floods the river with information that isn't useful for anyone but the user saving the bookmarks. Any objections to blocking bookmarks from being added to the river in our community mods plugin?

I try to make bookmarks I add "private" so that it does not show up in the river for others - or does it show up??

Why not add an optional "Share on the activity stream" checkbox? (default not checked)
Agreed with not showing them on the activity streams.
-1. I think this is a sign we should change core to either disable bookmark river entries by default or make them private.
In the Elgg of my emplyer we use a lot of bookmarks and in pretty much all cases the purpose is to share the link to others. I don't think bookmarks should be any kind of exception by default.
I've been wanting a way to allow users to self-supress different content that appears in their rivers. Whether it's an overzelous friend who floods it with posts, or specific kinds of items they only want to see once it passes a certain threshold (eg, bookmarks with several likes or comments).
@disha - if you set it to private it only shows for you and admins
