del.icio.us to delicious.com
I find delicious to be hugely useful as do the people I work with so it was good that they finally got around to updating the site last week. What is it with calling these library tools ’delicious’ anyway?
Besides the URL changing most work seems to have been done on the design… which is great an’ all but it would be nice to have had a bit more detail on what’s gone on behind the scenes.
“You may not have noticed, but the old back-end was getting creaky under the load of five million users.”
Believe me, I’d noticed.
“Using the latest in 21st century technology, we’ve also added the ability to sort your current view in a variety of useful ways!”
Hmm. You can sort by ‘most recent’ and alphabetically but not by popularity, which in this case is the number of other users who have bookmarked that page. This is one of the key features of delicious so unless I’m missing something I’m surprised this isn’t included. I’d also like to see a ‘frequency’ option which would order my bookmarks by the number of times I’ve visited that bookmarked page through delicious.
