Not even a week after turning three, del.icio.us has just passed the mark of 1 million registered users! That’s more than triple the number of users we had just nine months ago. We can hardly believe it ourselves (although the smell of smoke coming from the server rack seems to eerily confirm it). Thanks to each and every one of you for making all this possible. Now we have one more thing to celebrate at the party next week…

We’re pretty excited that we’ve reached the ripe old age of 3, and think it’s worth celebrating. So as promised, the del.icio.us bash will be on October 3 at Yahoo! HQ in Sunnyvale. Of course, we’ll all be there, and we’ll have food and swag in abundance.
If you’re in the area, you don’t really have a good excuse not to go- with great food, great company, and the lush ambiance of the Yahoo! Headquarters in Sunnyvale, what’s not to love? Please RSVP on Upcoming.org, so we know exactly how much del.icio.usness to bring to the party.
See you there!
PS- For those of you who don’t know me, I’m the new guy. I just joined as a product manager (and occasional events planner) and I’m really excited to be here!

The del.icio.us help pages are suddenly far more extensive and useful! They were getting a bit out of date, so I updated them and added much more detail. Explore them, learn something new, and let me know if there’s anything more I should include; the pages are still a work in progress.
Here’s one to start with: what is del.icio.us, anyway? And even if you’re already familiar with del.icio.us, here are a couple sections you might want to check out: the FAQs (full of real questions from users, not just things that I guessed you might be wondering) and neat unofficial tools (a gentle introduction to some of the most popular ones).
There is an amazing amount of community documentation about del.icio.us: people blogging and talking about features and uses, explaining this sometimes-mysterious site to everyone else. My goal is to supplement all of that with more explanations in a place that’s easy to find. I hope you enjoy it.

Del.icio.us is three years old today! It’s started making friends and will hopefully be out of diapers soon.
For those of you in the Bay Area, we’re planning a birthday bash for early October - keep an eye out!
