Del.icio.us LinkBacks

I have recently installed a nice bit of javascript from Snap.com that allows preview images of urls in blog postings. A handy tool on its own.

I have also been wondering about how many people have bookmarked different posts in this blog on Del.icio.us, so I added a little image and code on the bottom of each post that will give me its url history. I added a bit of code to the wordpress loop (basically http://del.icio.us/url?url=Permalink) and viola! A click on the link will start me down a new path around social bookmarking connections to a particular posting and the users that saved the bookmark. I really like that Snap allows me to preview the Del.icio.us search without going to del.icio.us.

Compare the Del.icio.us Linkback history of this post to 100+ Web 2.0 Ideas for Educators and you will see what I mean.
