For some reason, some URLs are not having the public-save-count updated properly, which is one (important) factor for making it onto the popular list. Since it seems to be missing the algorithm skips it, for some reason.
Toby is looking into why the updates are going through.

Hello! I've come across an interesting example of blocking / censorship on del.icio.us. I started a site yesterday and someone (not me) first bookmarked it on del.icio.us just over 24 hours ago. It was then linked on prominent blogs and YCombinator News and 86 other people bookmarked it (all natural, no-one was asked). Despite this, on all users pages of people who bookmarked it, and on tag pages it exists on, there are no "saved by X other people" links. This level of bookmarking would typically put a link into /popular, or at least the popular page for its main tag (/popular/ruby in this case), but since del.icio.us is failing to note the "saved by X other people" though, it's not making it there. What makes it all a bit suspicious is that I went to del.icio.us/url and entered the URL manually. Ta-da, I can see the number of people who bookmarked it. That page is here: http://del.icio.us/url/a28d36b3f289c39be53aeef14fcca474 So if del.icio.us is engaging in censoring / blocking of certain URLs (assuming this isn't a bug), why and how? What are the criteria? Is it because the domain name for the site is so newly registered, for example? Cheers, Peter Cooper http://www.petercooper.co.uk/ ------------------------------------ Yahoo!
