A Delicious Secret Sauce
Less than a week after the service’s third birthday, social bookmarking service del.icio.us has announced an important milestone on its blog:
…del.icio.us has just passed the mark of 1 million registered users! That’s more than triple the number of users we had just nine months ago. We can hardly believe it ourselves (although the smell of smoke coming from the server rack seems to eerily confirm it). Thanks to each and every one of you for making all this possible.
This figure comes as a surprise. Just over a week ago, Alex Iskold wrote a very interesting comparative review of social bookmarking sites at the Read/Write Web site. He assumed, reasonably enough, based on the service’s figures at the time it was acquired by Yahoo, plus moderate growth, that del.icio.us had half this number of users.
