Linkification

Thanks to the few people who've pointed out to me that Delicious is up for sale, rather than being shut down. Personally, I'd been hoping that Google would step in to buy it anyway, so this just gives that more likelihood.

Not going to talk about it in detail, because I'd like to actually get some time thinking/working on it first, but hopefully I'll be able to do some of that over Christmas.
