Can’t remember the del.icio.us website URL ? Read this » Digital Inspiration

‘http://delico.us http://delic.o.us How Do I Spell Delicious. Where do I put the dots ? The world’s most popular bookmarking service - del.icio.us - is also the most ugly URL on the internet that gets even more confusing when typing the web address by hand.‘

I totally agree with this article what are they thinking with this URL? I just don’t understand what it is supposed to mean. I think I will have to investigate this further when I have more time. This just doesn’t make any sense at all. I guess it is all about marketing you want a name that isn’t been used and hasn’t existed before. Like sony this is a good idea because if you pick an existing word it may have other meanings in other languages or have another ‘euphenistic’ meaning.
