UPDATE: I totally miscomprehended the idea of the project. Ignore
comments above completely and consider removing the referrer bits
at the bottom of the page to a separate (new) page. You don't need
that indicator of status, which is deceiving.
I thought it was kinda neat to see, but point taken - gone (though the URL
still exists for the curious).
...still exists over here... and I flushed cache.
Add a "what's it all about" link that's prominent. I have pointed some
mates to
gada.be/about, which in the the rational entry point to unfamiliar faces.
I think the intention of crafting such a plug-in is merely to serve
as promotion for your site. What evidence is there to suggest that
the product of such a plug-in will contribute to the users' experience?
...no more than linking to Technorati does. Or any other tag vendor, for
that matter. I'm just trying to level the playing field - one link to link
'em all, so to speak. Fool's errand, maybe - but I've gotta try.
You can never get that to happen unless you become a monopoly and spit on the
industry as well as morals. Don't let that fact evade you.
Contextually a good fit:

Having said that, I am sure there are some enthusiastic folks who
would use this as a jolly opportunity to hop aboard and implement
a plug-in that integrates closely with your API's.
We don't really have an API, per se - just a simple form at this point. That
said, I'm hoping the developer will be attending the forthcoming TagCamp in
San Jose (wherein gada.be is a sponsor).
Best of luck, Chris. It's a nice idea with great potential.
Thanks for the nod, Roy. We're getting additional servers this weekend, just
in case we get featured on Digg again (or, heaven forbid, Slashdot).
I have just spread the word in UseNet with some good encouragement and
comparison to the impact scale of del.icio.us.
Roy
