Delicious Popular Social Bookmarking launched a redesign. Since it was bought by Yahoo in 2005, Delicious added some new features and the redesign. New design that is more powerful and easier to use, along with a revamped search that’s faster and more robust. It’s also full of useful features that people have been requesting for years.
New and tasty features of Delicious
Navigation
Delicious’ve organized the site into three main sections: Bookmarks, People and Tags. When you are logged in, these menus give you quick access to your Bookmarks, Network and Tags pages. The My Tags page is a new way to see all your tags in an expanded tag cloud.
New Search allows you to not only search your own bookmarks, but virtually any context in Delicious. For example, you can now search a bundle, a tag, your Network, or another person’s bookmarks from our handy search box in the header.
New sub menus now make it easier to view a person’s Bookmarks, Network, Tags or Subscriptions pages. Create a public profile, including a display name, to change how you appear in Delicious to others.
Tag Bar
Use new Tag Bar to quickly navigate your bookmarks by using tags and tag combinations. Viewing a tag has never been easier with tag autocomplete. Using the latest in 21st century technology, Delicious’ve also added the ability to sort your current view in a variety of useful ways!
Bookmarks
Delicious’ve refined our bookmarks layout to be easier to read at a glance. Also, it’s now possible to change your view detail, so that you can either get more bookmark information or compact their display with a single click on the Tag Bar. Say goodbye to salmon on blue! The popularity of a bookmark can be determined quickly by the width and shade of the blue box around the save count.
Curious about what people think about the sites you’ve bookmarked? Click on any bookmark’s save count (the number in the blue box) to see the details page for that URL. In addition to a complete history of everyone’s bookmarks for that web page, you can now see who in your network has saved the page.
Sidebars
You can quickly see what a person’s bookmark collection is all about by looking at the top ten tags in their sidebar.
From the sidebar, you can now refine your view to show all bookmarks in a specific bundle. You can now bundle your network and subscriptions too!
Confused about who ’stlhood’ is? Give any user in your Network a private nickname.
Action box
Act now! The action box provides you with a list of commonly used actions for the current page. It changes based on what you’re doing. So if you’re looking at one of your tags, use the action box to create a tag description to remind yourself and others why you used that specific tag. If you’re looking at your bookmarks, feel free to create a public profile to share.
