Delicious 2.0 Launches

July 31, 2008

Delicious 2.0 has been long awaited and has finally launched. There is nothing except its new style. It is said to be easier to learn to use. Also it will be faster than the older version.

 

Speed: We’ve moved to a new
infrastructure that makes every page faster. This new platform will
enable us to keep up with traffic growth while ensuring Delicious is
responsive and reliable. You may not have noticed, but the old backend
was getting creaky under the load of five million users.

Search: We’ve completely overhauled our search
engine to make it faster and more powerful. Searches used to take ages
to return results; now they’re very quick. The new search engine is
also smarter, and more social: you can search within one of your tags,
another public user’s bookmarks, or your social network. Now it’s
easier to take advantage of the expertise and interests of your
friends, not to mention the Delicious community at large.

Design: Finally, 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.
