New Delicious design

Published by Charl Norman on Sep 7th, 2007, 2 Comments

Techcrunch managed to get an exclusive look at the upcoming Delicous 2 site. There are numerous new features, and Delicious says that they have done a complete code rewrite this time around. One of the most notable things, however, is that they are dropping the Del.icio.us branding: they are moving to Delicious.com instead of the Del.icio.us that we’re all used to.

Here are some of the new features aside from the upcoming name change and new layout:

* There are four main categories on the Delicioius site: Home, Bookmarks, People and Tags
* New sorting options
* Bulk tag editing…thank goodness!
* Autocomplete on the tag bar
* Organize and sort your friends
* New search engine with contextual search – search your own bookmarks, all bookmarks, or a network of bookmarks

The Delicious 2 preview page is available, but you have to be invited before you can login. I wouldn’t search around too hard for an invite though, because any changes you make on the preview service will be lost once the new design goes live.

So I think the more important question is what do you think about them changing the name?

Delicious is del.icio.us is delicious.com. I don’t think its a biggy. If you think you know what web 2.0 is, then you should know Delicious, so how they decide to promote the domain is not too important.

What is more important that they keep up with the whole social bookmarking scene.
