It’s Not Just a Hobby Anymore!

Del.icio.us addicts take note: this afternoon our dear leader finally announced that he is quitting his day job to focus on del.icio.us development full-time. And not a moment too soon: how many weeks now has the Inbox claimed that it would be back “hopefully this week?”

In all seriousness, though, it’s nice to see Joshua get the recognition (monetary and otherwise) that he deserves for kicking off the folksonomy boom. It’s also good to hear that he seems to recognize the true reason for his (and any social software’s) success: an enthusiastic community of interesting users. Here’s hoping del.icio.us can maintain it’s excellent signal-to-noise ratio now that the wider world is beginning to catch on.
