This is pretty terrible. I mean the sheer amount of procrastination that something like this could engender...;-]

Pretty much the definition of zeitgeist.

Thanks

Well, I'm never getting anything done ever again.

From How LiveMark Works:The import script is run via a cron job. It runs all the time every day, pulling in the del.icio.us RSS feed.

From About del.icio.us: Please do not poll any single RSS feed more often than every 30 minutes. RSS feeds are not updated more than twice an hour, and you will receive an error if you try to crawl more frequently.

What am I missing?

Smart people on the internets: People post a lot of the same crud. Be nice if one could set up a blocker on the deli feed site which allowed you to block sites you are sick of seeing again and again.

I still don't get what the fuss is about with del.icio.us.

Grass gotta grow. Paint gotta dry.

I'm with ya, Dr. Wu. Maybe it's fantastic stuff, but just in a form that doesn't "click" for me.

what's up with the .oO?

It opens the link in a new window, unlike the main link. I believe the .oO is intended to be ascii art of the O growing from a tiny dot, and therefore represent a new window opening. Jakob Nielsen would approve.
