So “soon” really did mean soon. Props to the Delicious crew for making it happen this time around.
There it is. The new Delicious. It looks good, huh? It shares some characteristics from the “heritage edition,” but it seems to carry a bit more in the way of currency. If you liked what came before, you’ll probably find the new one a nice fit. Kind of like buying a new pair of shoes that, by default, feel good. You still have some breaking-in to do, but the new style probably won’t slow you down much.
Delicious is promising three primary things with the 2.0 tag: more speed, overhauled search (also said to be a leadfoot), and, of course, a fresh design. As the company describes in its latest blog post:
...we’ve updated the user interface to improve usability and add a few often-requested features (such as selectable detail levels and alphabetical sorting of bookmarks). Our goal has been to keep the new design similar in spirit to the old one, so all of you veterans should be able to jump in without any confusion. At the same time, we’re hoping that newcomers to Delicious will find it easier to learn.
