More to come?... Anyone care to speculate on the effect this will have on del?... To be honest, there's nothing stopping anyone from putting a "post this to del.icio.us" link on their site.  Some blogs have been doing this for months already, and del.icio.us doesn't seem to have suffered. One obvious issue: The user base is bound to evolve away from techy types, and toward more general interests. Content bias in del.icio.us is not a constant, and it will evolve right along with the users.  Even if there's never a new user, the existing crowd's interests will drift over time.  Sites about parenting will hit the popular page, then getting your kids through college, then prostate health, elder care law, and finally mortuaries.  There's nothing to be done about it, short of putting down an editorial foot and telling people "you can't bookmark that here".  Ch'yeah, that'd go over well. :) --  Rocco Caputo - [EMAIL PROTECTED] SPONSORED LINKS Developer network Computer security Computer training YAHOO!
