As her blog shows, Rachel is a designer who favors a clean look, and who objects to the clutter of social icons. As she points out, people who bookmark things with del.icio.us, reddit, or whatever, tend to have buttons on their browsers to make the bookmarking quick and easy, so they don’t need the icons on the blog.

There’s going to be more of that in the all-new tossr, so stay tuned!)

I think there's a Web 2.0 biz in there ... big.boxofchickle.tz seems appropriately hard to to type.
