Cool hack :) I’ve use it in my Word Press Plugin: http://www.ivanuzunov.net/delicious-tagometer-badge-wp-plugin/

Yeah, I looked over the tags for us anyway and I didn’t see “remarkablyhandsome” among them, so no great loss if we don’t feature it prominently.

Mainly, I just wanted to point out that, while this is a handy feature for encouraging people to tag your blog posts into del.icio.us, I think that it really shines in the sense that it allows you to instantly add CONTEXT to any of your webpages. If you add this badge to the top page of any site, visitors can instantly get a feel for what your site is all about by examining the tags that other people have submitted. That’s really, really cool to me.

Adam,
Yeah, I hear you about how the page is getting loaded up with stuff. I’ll try to putter around and come up with some solution for it. One thing that I’ve noticed, however, is that people tend to ignore stuff that’s not right in front of them.

Personally, i’m a HUGE fan of live clipboard (here’s a link, you go do something clever with it), but it’s not quite “there” yet. I’ve got a few ideas and it’ll give me something to do over the holiday break.

Sean, I may add it to the top page, but I’m thinking it might be a tad busy. I may modify it a hair and just put up the things that are really interesting to us.

Cool! Can we also get an overall del.icio.us badge for the top page (ie, gives tags and stats for http://ycoolthing.com)? I want to see what sort of tags people are giving us!

That’s a cool hack and all, but man - the bottom of the posts are starting to look like junk….there really needs to be a better way to help the developing state of Iconistan. Any chance of creating a drop down permalink that doubles a Digg/Submit to Del.icio.us/etc…?
