good point. touche

No disrespect to joshu (who is around), but I never had a single non-techie friend who used delicious. For whatever reason, only reddit (and to a lesser extent Digg) have been able to break out of the geek echo chamber when it comes to social news. Slashdot, which had a 6-10 year jump on all of them, never could do it either.

Maybe it's the .com. Who knows.

I've seen a huge designer community using delicious. maybe the artsy guys and gals liked the "clever" name ;)

Which then ended up moving to delicious.com...
