  • Thanks for mentioning my post about del.icio.us. You're correct that my observations can carry over to those other social bookmarking sites. I just haven't done much with any of them yet. I'd be interested in hearing how others may use Digg, etc., as a measurement tool.
  • Many thanks for the link love!
