Quotes
"I’d registered the domain when .us opened the registry, and a quick test showed me the six-letter suffixes that let me generate the most words.In early discussions, a friend referred to finding good links as 'eating cherries' and the metaphor stuck, I guess.
I somewhat regret using the domain name, because it’s almost impossible to discuss or verify without sounding silly. I’ll probably have to rename it at some point, presumably as something ending in -ster or -zilla or whatever."—Joshua SchachterRands In Repose: A Del.icio.us Interview(December 3, 2004)
