Glad they changed the name officially. I could never remember where the extra periods went. Before the 'i' or after the 'i'?

To remember it, I got in the habit of pronouncing it as such:

  Dell-dot-icey-oh-dot-you-ess
The hard part was calling it 'delicious' in conversation so I didn't sound like a moron.

I think, in general, 'url hacks' like del.icio.us only work if the periods go between words, like http://go.to/

In my head I've always pronounced it something like, "Dell-Issio-Us'

The delicious.com name change could certainly give the site broader appeal. I like it.

Haha.. I thought I was the only one who thought of it this way.. :)

I always worked backwards, knowing it ended in .us I was always able to say "del, dot icio dot us".

Funny you say that because where I had no problem (probably because I'm good at recognizing patterns) remembering the period placement, I slipped up three times today and forgot to remove them when going to the site.

I'm a little disappointed in 2.0. They have massive amounts of really good data, but don't seem to be interested in mining it in any way, such as:

- a recommendation engine for each user

- a tagging engine

- a news aggregator

The ability to sort my ~1500 bookmarks alphabetically.

That's useful....

Sweet I heard the app was built on Symfony that snazzy PHP framework that Yahoo! uses for it's projects.
