## Description

I made this plugin because I wanted a Delicious.com-like list of links I was looking
at, music I was listening to, etc. It’s super simple: text, an optional link, and
a tag.

It works by creating a custom post type (“Consumption”) and custom taxonomy (“Consumable”),
and an optional bookmarklet. You enter the name of what you’re consuming, an optional
link, and an optional tag (the “Consumable” taxonomy) and that’s it. You can then
display this list anywhere on your site — a list of consumables in a tag cloud, 
a page with a list of consumptions, etc.
