Endlich die Antwort auf die Frage, wie del.icio.us zu diesem Namen kam:
When .us became available, I wrote a quick script to figure out the
shortest prefixes that would allow me to generate the most number of
names:$ grep us$ /usr/dict/words | sed ‘s/.*(….)(us)$/1.2/’ | sort
| uniq -c | sort -n | tail
6 aceo.us
6 mino.us
7 ario.us
7 onio.us
7 urio.us
8 aneo.us
8 orio.us
10 itio.us
14 icio.us
18 acio.us
