"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’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)
