del icio us

Ok, this is rather interesting and another place that will eventually get swamped by people looking to exploit their sites recognition. Basically, it allows you (and others) to link key words to urls as a open bookmark system. Fine and good, but you can add in any url you want with any keywords which means you now have a new way of targetting people for specific content. Take for example the keyword regular_expressions. I happen to have a list on this topic, so I bookmark the list home page with that keyword. Now, any time someone else with the keyword regular_expressions (or others I linked) go to their links for regular expressions, they'll see a link to my list. It's new, unexploited and ripe for abuse. If your going to add in your own content, please try to be respectful of the medium and put in targetted key words.

Oh, I should mention that the url is: http://del.icio.us/ ----- Excess quoted text cut - see Original Post for more -----
