I totally understand. I wasn't particularly sure what the right trade-off was when it came to link tracking, so I just did my best to have it count all clicks. Of course, that part is highly browser-dependent, so it is a little inconsistent from client to client.
The next thing I will likely implement is an optional Greasemonkey script for Firefox that downloads a list of your bookmark hashes, and when the browser visits a site that matches the hashed URL, post an increment to the Delancey server. Thus when the Greasemonkey script is installed I can do away with outbound click tracking altogether, and simply rely on the script to increment the count no matter how the user got to the page. This also has the advantage in that the counts will be accurate even when the user doesn't go through Delancey. (And for those concerned with privacy, as I am, Delancey only stores one-way hashes, and the Greasemonkey script would only post increments for URLs that have already been publicly bookmarked by the user.) More feedback is always appreciated!
