Other than 30 different <script> tags (and tons of useless traffic), I can't think of a way of implementing this.

What social bookmarks? Appreciate the "heads up" on my faux pas. I must've been overzealous when I started the blog and never gave it a second thought. ...and though I hate to admit it, I suppose this is a proper forum for pointing out flaws like this since my recent posts have been rather harsh on some in the naming industry. And note that we have a post in our "greatest hits" section on web 2.0 naming that covers some of what you mention here. (We approached it by looking at the copy-cat nature of web 2.0 names and found that you're less likely to succeed if you copy someone than you are if you go with something original.) Cheers to you Steve, Jay, John and the rest of the Igorians. Hope I get to break bread with you again soon. Social bookmarks? What social bookmarks?
