We attached some wiki stuff from wikipedia.org, for you to learn more :
"The "del.icio.us" domain name was a well-known example of a domain hack, an unconventional combination of letters to form a word or phrase. Del.icio.us and delicio.us now redirect to the new domain, delicious.com.
In an interview, Schachter explained how he chose the name: "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."[10]
On September 6, 2007, Schachter announced the website's name would change to "Delicious" when the site was redesigned.[11][12] The design went live on July 31, 2008." This text was originally posted on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Del.icio.us and its part of the WikiPedia.org
