Lazyweb: Del.icio.us “Trackbacks”
Just a thought, while I’m on a blog posting roll: wouldn’t it be cool if someone implemented a sort of del.icio.us“trackback” feature for weblogs? That is, a WordPress plugin that could display the number of times a post has been bookmarked on del.icio.us. It could be almost like the distributed, weblog-ish equivalent of the way Flickr displays the number of people who have marked a photo as a favorite. I’d do it, except I already have way too many side projects as it is. Jonas, any interest?
(Update: Ask and ye shall receive: Andrew Skinner has done it! It’s now running on my weblog, and I couldn’t be happier with it! Thanks for your hard work Andrew!).

Shelley uses TagBack, but that’s different, I assume. Sure, give me a day or two, and I’ll have it out.

Delicious Linkbacks?

Yeah, that’s the kind of thing I’m looking for, except that I would like text on every entry on my weblog to reflect that information. So, essentially you’d have something on each post that said (for example): “5 comments, 2 trackbacks, 1 del.icio.us bookmark.”

Del.icio.us trackbacks
I was reading today on Buzz Andersen’s site SciFiHiFi about the idea of tracking on your site/blog how many users have added your page/post to the Del.icio.us bookmark cloud. I’ve put together a small wordpress plug-in to do just that, you can see it…
