del.icio.us Launches JSON-fed "save to del.icio.us" badges

del.icio.us has just released a new badge called the "Tagometer". The tagometer is like the save to del.icio.us widget, but with more stuff:

From the del.icio.us blog, deusx writes:

The Tagometer opens things up from there - using a JSON data feed from del.icio.us, the Tagometer includes an up-to-date count of others who've already bookmarked the page, as well as a fresh list of the top tags applied.

Visitors can click on the count to see more detail on who bookmarked your page, when they did it, and how they tagged it. The list of tags shows visitors why your page is interesting, and clicking on a tag takes them to similar sites on del.icio.us.

Head over to del.icio.us for the full story, or to get your new Tagometer.

Happy bookmarking!

This is really helpful, but here are a couple of suggestions:

--> Allow the Web owner to decide if the Delicous links should open up in a new browser window.
While this tag is helpful in getting saves - one has to balance the tradeoff with the harsh reality that any visitor who clicks on one of the Tag links will leave - and might not come back

--> Allow for some overridding of the default dark blue and gray color scheme with URL parameters, so web site owners can 'BLEND' it in with THEIR webpage or blog color scheme

Thanx :-)

If a site visitor leaves a web site to "not come back" were they ever really there? In today's society with the ability to open content in new tabs and the ability to use the 'Back' button I personally don't see this as a concern. But my opinion may be biased because I HATE pop-up windows.
