			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ok, just how many <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_bookmarking">social bookmarking</a> / link services can the Web accommodate? And will somebody please stop the madness and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Just_Say_No">Just Say No</a> to social bookmarking icon overkill on their blogs?</p>
<p>Click the image to engorge this example, where below the icons that appeared on <a href="http://www.stokefire.com/blog/">an actual blog</a> we&#8217;ve listed the service associated with each:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.snarkhunting.com/images/linkiticons.gif"><img class="imgcenter" src="http://www.snarkhunting.com/images/linkiticonstn.gif" alt="Link service icons and names" /></a></p>
<p>Be sure to savor the keen glut of Web 2.oism exhibited by the names above; for those of you who can still remember the &#8217;90s, it&#8217;s <a href="http://www.igorinternational.com/process/web-portal-name-taxonomy.php">deja vu all over again</a>. Especially annoying is the spreading virus of <a href="http://www.google.com/search?q=%22interstitial+periodicity%22&amp;ie=utf-8&amp;oe=utf-8&amp;aq=t&amp;rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&amp;client=firefox-a">interstitial periodicity</a> that began with del.icio.us, as far as we care to tell, and has now spawned, just from the above sampling, &#8220;De.lirio.us&#8221; (you go girrl!), &#8220;co.mments&#8221; and the delightful &#8220;Ma.gnolia&#8221;. If you know of more, post them here in the Comments and we&#8217;ll compile a full list of these atrocities. U digg?</p>
<p>UPDATE 7.19: Tate, who publishes the &#8220;actual blog&#8221; in question (it has something to do with naming, I think, but what do we know?), has removed all the pretty little Web 2.0 icons from his site and written about the whole exhilarating experience: <a href="http://stokefire.com/blog/2007/07/19/oh-yeah-well-um-you-have-bad-posture/">Oh yeah, well… um… You have bad posture!</a> Does this represent a SURGE of defections from the social bookmarking iconoplastering movement? Only time will toil.</p>

<p>Snark Hunting captured the flag in the coveted &#8220;Best Topical Blogs (trademark, branding, media, adbusting)&#8221; category, the final category nestled prominently at the <a href="http://ad-rag.com/127764.php">bottom of the page</a>.
