Thanks Joshua and John.


 I understand the key issue is that the posting is considered to be of
some value to a human community (even a community of one) and not
really the tool (form, favelet, bot..) used for posting.

As for my project, I'm not really sure who would be deriving utility
from the links, I was just going for the cool factor ('look, i'm
republishing at delicious..') As with any feature,it's better killed
off until I can come up with some use case that shows actual benefits
to anyone.

Thanks for the insight.
