To remember it, I got in the habit of pronouncing it as such:

  Dell-dot-icey-oh-dot-you-ess

The hard part was calling it 'delicious' in conversation so I didn't sound like a moron.

I think, in general, 'url hacks' like del.icio.us only work if the periods go between words, like http://go.to/

In my head I've always pronounced it something like, "Dell-Issio-Us'

The delicious.com name change could certainly give the site broader appeal. I like it.

Haha.. I thought I was the only one who thought of it this way.. :)
