Interesting that they are apparently abandoning the del.icio.us domain hack.
"soon to become http://delicious.com/your_username http://delicious.com/your_username"
- joshu 18y agoit was just too painful hearing people pronounce it "del issy oos?"
- unalone 18y agoIt's more fun listening to people who try to pronounce the periods. Del-dot-issio-dot-us. Or, my favorite, a friend who pronounced periods by coughing. We kept offering him water. It's a bit ridiculous that icio.us was never set to redirect, though. What a waste of a domain name. Unless there's a good SEO reason to do that?
- joshu 18y agodelicious.com has redirected to del.icio.us for several years now. I never changed it because the most active part of the userbase liked it.
- jacobbijani 18y agoThat's what's crazy about HN. You have to be careful what you say, because even the founders of sites as big as delicious post here... Anyway, I think you misread the comment. How come just "icio.us" (no del subdomain) doesn't redirect to the full del.icio.us?
- joshu 18y agoNever occured to me. Why bother? Way back there was a second copy of delicious set up at susp.icio.us for testing, but I had to take it down as people were using it.
- jacobbijani 18y agoI guess just for consistency's sake. And so people like me can see what happens when you take off the subdomain :)
- unalone 18y agoTo be honest, mostly laziness. Probably not a good enough line of reasoning. And I agree with above: I'm always amazed at the sorts of people that read HN.
