Exclusive: Screen Shots And Feature Overview of Delicious 2.0 Preview

Michael Arrington

126 comments »

Social bookmarking site Delicious launched a limited, invite-only preview of version 2.0 of the service this afternoon. The new site can be accessed at preview.delicious.com, although only invited users can actually get in.

The Delicious service (no longer “del.icio.us” and now residing at delicious.com) boasts 3 million registered users and 100 million unique URLs bookmarked.

If you are invited, all of your existing bookmarks are imported to the preview, although any changes you make will be lost when the new service launches - so it’s just for trying out and giving feedback. Del.icio.us is saying that there is no guarantee that the final product will look exactly like the preview, since they are taking user feedback very seriously.

The preview shows a substantially different interface than the current Del.icio.us site, and a number of new features.

Founder Joshua Schachter says this is a complete code-rewrite of Del.icio.us. More details below.

New Interface

The interface is broken down into four main categories: Home, Bookmarks, People and Tags. Access to each is via persistent navigation buttons at the top of the site.




New Features

They weren’t kidding about a complete code re-write. And while the point of the new version is to release something far more scalable and agile than the existing product, there are a number of new features. Most of them were highly requested by users. I’m still working through many of them.

There are a number of new sorting options. Instead of sorting bookmarks by how recent or popular they are, you can also sort alphabetically, and reverse sort any of the above. They have also added bulk tag editing (very much needed), and organization and sorting of your network of friends and people you watch.

The preview also includes a new search engine that includes contextual search. You can now search your own bookmarks, all bookmarks or just your network’s bookmarks. If you do not specify what you want, it searches whatever you are currently looking at - your own bookmarks, bookmarks from your network, etc.

As I said, I’m still digesting most of the new features. Schachter says the new code base will allow them to make more frequent updates to the service.

Update: Here are the new features broken down:

Navigation

The navigation bar is now organized into Bookmarks, People, and Tags. The tags section features a new MyTags page where you can see all of your tags in an expanded cloud. On the bar, you can search bookmarks amongst your own, networks, everyone’s, or the set you’re currently looking at.

Tag Bar

The tag bar features tagging auto complete and sorting alphabetically, by date, and popularity.

Bookmarks

The bookmark summary can adjust the view detail, so you can either get more or less info with a single click. Also, the popularity of a bookmark can be determined quickly by the width and shade of the blue box around the save count. 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.

Side Bar

The side bar lets you easily see a person’s list of top tags. You can also refine your view of bookmarks to specific categories as well. You can also give members in your network nicknames.sidebar-delicious.png

Action Box

The action box provides you with a list of commonly used actions for the current page.

    i was dreaming for importing delicious bookmarks to firefox and because firefox drag and drop bookmark feature is very simple and easy to use.
    any news on that?
    and any way do get invitation?

  3. Sean

    September 6th, 2007 at 3:16 pm

    I love the service as is already. Updates are always nice although personally I find nothing exciting about this release.

    That aside, I’m really disappointed to hear they’re dropping the “del.icio.us” name. The whole “Domain name 2.0″ craze was essentially invented when Joshua registered del.icio.us. How could they possibly push that aside? “Delicious.com” is boring as hell :(

  4. Flicious

    September 6th, 2007 at 3:21 pm

    Looks nice - but does it save a copy of the bookmarked site as furl and diigo do? If not, it’ll remain useless for me.

  5. Stephen Glauser

    September 6th, 2007 at 3:28 pm

    Wow. It sure looks like a monster departure from their current interface. It’s going to take some time to get used to, especially for power users. I’m hoping they keep it as easy to operate as it is now.

    I use del.icio.us extensively to bookmark web designs i come across.

    it would be great to have thumbnails next to the websites so i can see where im headed , instead of having to click and wait.

    September 6th, 2007 at 3:31 pm

    Very cool, nice scoop. I’m looking forward to see if they have improved their blog integration options, I like to power my blogroll using delicious, but right now it’s a bit of a hack to say the least.

  9. Word Hugger

    September 6th, 2007 at 3:38 pm

    Did del.icio.us pay for delicious.com after the site got extremely popular, if so, does anyone know how much?

  10. BlogReader

    September 6th, 2007 at 3:54 pm

    Is there an API to query delicious? I would like to send it a webpage and category and have it return all the links in that category from people that have also labeled that page. That way I can find similar sites from people that are looking at the same pages I am.

  12. Marshall Kirkpatrick

    September 6th, 2007 at 4:11 pm

    I really hope no 3rd party services built on top of del.icio.us are broken by the complete rewrite. Other hopes and dreams include personal cached copies of pages, as was mentioned above, and a kick-ass recommendation engine. Recommendation will be where the most value will come from, at least for me. I’ll keep my fingers crossed, perhaps for the future.

  13. Joshua Schachter

    September 6th, 2007 at 4:22 pm

    Caching the page is on the todo list but won’t be part of this release, as is thumbnails.

    A recommendation engine is something I want to have again and something we will make time for. I wrote the original Delicious recommendation engine but it didn’t really scale as the site got larger and larger.

    There will be a new version of the API after we get this out the door, but the API is not changing at this time.

    I decided to move to delicious.com because del.icio.us was just too hard for lots of people to get their heads around. A large chunk of folks don’t even know how to pronounce it…

  14. Stephen Glauser

    September 6th, 2007 at 4:38 pm

    Josh, will the site still be available via del.icio.us, as well as delicious.com?

  15. chris

    September 6th, 2007 at 4:48 pm

    “Did del.icio.us pay for delicious.com after the site got extremely popular, if so, does anyone know how much?

    Uh no, they looked for it on godaddy.com and found that no one had ever registered it.

  20. Adam

    September 6th, 2007 at 5:25 pm

    Mikew…that’s an interesting question and as a guess I’d say if the mainstream web users aren’t using this tool yet, they eventually will - or some variant of it. It’s just too useful of a tool to ignore for too long.

  21. Mikew

    September 6th, 2007 at 5:31 pm

    I’ve got a degree in Computer Science. I played with in within weeks of launch, found it thoroughly confusing (including the pretentious URL), and never tried it again.

    Visiting the home page right now, I can tell you that my wife, my father, my mother, and every other non-techie that I know could never use this damn thing. Layers upon layers upon layers of assumed technical knowledge and other cruft.

    “…it would be great to have thumbnails next to the websites so i can see where im headed , instead of having to click and wait.”

    The new Yahoo! Bookmarks (which I have been told shares the same underpinnings as the new Delicious.com - hate the name change, BTW) has this feature. Why this doesn’t have it, I don’t know - clearly, it’s possible - look at the existing main page!

  25. xxdesmus

    September 6th, 2007 at 6:21 pm

    So, uh, how do the rest of us sign up for the beta?

    This looks pretty nice, but I’m also not a huge Del.icio.us user at the moment.

  26. Deepak

    September 6th, 2007 at 6:21 pm

    I wish the keep the del.icio.us. The interface looks interesting. Since I am primarily a Firefox del.icio.us addon user, I haven’t visited the site too often in recent months. This change might tempt me to do that on occasion. We’ll see.

  27. Shirley Dalton

    September 6th, 2007 at 6:22 pm

    I’ve got to say, I am computer ILLITERATE, and I use Delicious daily, and I find Delicious indispensable. It’s not that hard. Actually, it’s very simple and very useful. It does lots, so it looks like a lot. Come on, tech junkies. If I can do it, so can you (and your mother and your father and your dog).

  28. Thinker

    September 6th, 2007 at 6:37 pm

    when 2 and 2 got together, it became 4. Likewise, when deli.cio.us got together they become delicious. It’s a lovely website with 100 million page views. I don’t get one thing, there has been tonnes of social networking but what’s the real use of it. I understand the wave with all social networking sites.

    But really where does it lead to - all of them do the same thing. I am yet to come to have a compelling reason to join these sites. It’s one thing to try it out but it’s another to have a real revenue source. How could you make much money with all of it.

    I think we are missing the beat and focusing on social networking sites, basically what we should concentrate on is sites that have real revenue or atleast addictive enough to stick on to it.

    I write this big comment because i want michael to respond to it. As my name says “THINKER”

  29. Jason Coleman

    September 6th, 2007 at 7:12 pm

    Mike, any word of a mobile version of the site?

    I know there are a couple neat URLs you can use like:
    http://del.icio.us/html/ideadu.....sbutton=no

    (Thanks to the dude from here:
    http://www.webpronews.com/blog.....ous-mobile)

    But if you want something with a few more features, you can try out our site at http://mobilicio.us.

    I really thought that we would have buried Mobilicio.us by now, but it seems there is still a place for it. The best feature is that we pass the bookmarks through Google Mobile to reformat pages for a smaller screen. Other than that, it adds searching capabilities and a way to organize things using the “mtag” tag.

  30. Alan Wilensky

    Anyone that performs any type of daily research on technolgy or competitive sector studies uses delicious. I was an early (maybe later than I think) adopter, and it changed the way I do business for my clients. Now I keep research partners and clients up to date with the for:mrclient tag.

    Keeping bookmarks in the browser was a clumsy and inelegant way to organize and share critical web research.

    Thanks Josh, you have created a true boon for us web content researchers.

  31. Ravi Vora

    September 6th, 2007 at 7:54 pm

    Love the new design, but I hate the Popular Bookmarks and Explore Tags tab design. They throw off the entire rectangular look.

    And the face on the individual’s bookmark page? They could’ve done better there.

    Finally, the random “What’s New” green box? I guess they just wanted it to stand out so they picked green.

    Otherwise I am psyched to play with the new design, seems like it will be more functional.

  32. Leandro Ardissone

    September 6th, 2007 at 7:56 pm

  34. Mohali

    September 6th, 2007 at 8:58 pm

    Caching a copy of the website is very important to me as well. Diigo already does that. I am assured that even if the site goes down or is taken down, I will have access to the website that I bookmarked.

    This is the primary reason I have been a Diigo user and never embraced Deli.icio.us despite all the exposure that it gets.

    Please give us caching feature!

  35. irfan

    September 6th, 2007 at 9:38 pm

    Here are two things I REALLY REALLY REALLY WANT:

    1) Is there a button I can push to make sure that all the URLs I have bookmarked are for private use only.

    2) When I save a URL privately, the tags that I saved when I save the private URL do not show up when I went to save another URL. As a result, it kind of forces me to save it in public mode.

    Please Joshua, please make this happen. I love delicious but this these two really really important features would be delicious.

    “i was dreaming for importing delicious bookmarks to firefox and because firefox drag and drop bookmark feature is very simple and easy to use.”

    Many people have been doing that for months. There is a Del.icio.us Bookmarks extension for Firefox. Just go to the Firefox addons page and search for Delicious ou Del.icio.us.

    But beware, when I import my FF bookmarks into Delicious, I got a strange feeling with the tags. But I got used to the new system :)

    sweet.

    I just wrote about how del.icio.us is the amazon for the internet:

    http://www.michaelhoover.org/m.....is-th.html

    they could p0wn the search space, since they have 100 million human edited and ranked urls representing the best stuff out there. recommendation engine in a box. peoplerank fer sure dudes.

    Congrats to the team for the new release. I have begun to use delicious as not only my bookmarking tool but also as one of my primary search engines. I would love to see the team focus some energy on exposing the power of delicious in this regard.

    The second aspect that seems to be overlooked is the social/community side of the site, I would enjoy being able to at least view additional contact information about my network (I don’t know 90% of the people on it) and also implementing something like a discussion/note board for specific tags and links.

    It looks as if there is a new “Friend” feature so maybe this contains some added depth in this arena.

    Does anyone else feel that there is a ton of untapped potential lurking here? its almost as if Yahoo and Co are afraid to rock the boat on such a great product, but in my opinion are missing out on something the site contains that is much much bigger.

    hmm, still doesnt look as good as digg.

  53. pedro

    September 7th, 2007 at 4:20 am

    PJ: That’s the reason I use del.icio.us: it saves me time. With the firefox extension all I have to do is ctrl+d and type a couple of tags (or click the recommended/popular ones) then it’s done. Now all I have to do is ctrl+b and type a tag word and I can find anything instantly.
    Plus del.icio.us will auto tag your current collection of bookmarks while importing, which takes you no time.

    I real shame about dropping del.icio.us, delicious.com looks kinda like a woman’s baking site. I really think you should keep del.icio.us as the primary url and have delicious.com as the redirect for noobs. I am sure you’ll find that “a large chunk of folks” will still have trouble pronouncing it and accessing the site via URL. This is because a large chunk of folks are illiterate and moronic.

    Besides don’t noobs (and pros) use google anyway?

    Still no mention of revising their almost insane space-delimited tagging.

    Why they do this, I just cannot fathom…

  58. l.m.orchard

    September 7th, 2007 at 5:37 am

    @Wayne: Personally, I’m a big fan of space-delimited tagging. The space bar is a big fat thumb-target, and I can rattle off a half-dozen tags like word-association without having to waste too much time really dwelling on it. I’m also a longtime wiki user, so ImportantWords without spaces is something I’m used to.

    September 7th, 2007 at 5:52 am

    LOOKs great…i was hoping they would not get to bling blingy. part of what makes del.ici.us such a good service is the lack of clutter.

  62. michael h

    September 7th, 2007 at 6:27 am

    Some of the new features look useful, but part of the whole appeal of del.icio.us for me is the non-cluttered, bare bones interface (cf. Google). That’s why I came back to del.icio.us after using Ma.gnolia. While the new look is still pretty minimalist, I think they have gone too far away from the current design. I like the old name better, too.

    Awesome design, it looks great.. Some will complain about the new beefed designed elements but you must remember its a Yahoo property.. if they can launch a new fresh design that will appeal to more ppl and then add a social profile element they can increase their social networking properties inventory

    Sweet!

    I’m glad the color coding of the number of people who saved a bookmarked is being updated. I found the some of the previous colors nearly impossible to read. Good work guys!

    This is so much awesome.

    I have 5 scripts or so that will break with the update, but that’s so worth it for having a better search of bookmarks.

    I hope they will let us search any text with in pages we’ve bookmarked. If Yahoo search had a “search only in your bookmarks” feature then I’d start using it over Google.

    The same says it all ‘Del.icio.us’

    I am sure I have an invite somewhere so I may have to follow a review on this on my own website http://www.WhichWebsite.com , however its another great review from Michael Accrington and his team :-)

    It is easier to not type the dots (periods lol ;-))

    They should devote some development resources to a delicious API, with some REST interfaces so people like me can grab items that are popular and republish them elsewhere - or as RSS feeds. Then they become DIGG competitive, which is a better strategy IMHO.

    Matt, why post a comment when you have no idea what you are talking about? First result in Google:

    I always thought that delicious was a bit limited. I always type in blog+mp3 to get all my mp3 blogs and never could understand why I can’t make clickable bundles in the sidebar so I don’t always have to type this in.

    tags are great and a powerful tool, but just bundeling some tags isn’t really worth it, because the results from a single tag are just too broad if you use del.icio.us extensively.

    here’s how I use del.icio.us to get a better understanding of what I mean
    I always use big categories first “world” “graphic” “design” “photography” “philosophy”

    than add a relevant describtion tag for the site “history” “portal” “blog” “forum” and then just whatever comes to my mind for finding stuff again in search mode.

    but as said, right now it’s really difficult to use, well maybe not use, but access, del.icio.us in a more logical way.

    I really hope this new version will make things easier (exclude commands also wouldn’t hurt)

    guys, even with this new release from delicious, diigo remains much more powerful with highlights and sticky notes, cached pages etc.

    Good news I suppose; As a couple other people mentioned, this will break a few crucial scripts on some sites; Including mine. I just hope they keep some semblance of similarity behind the url encoding/naming scheme. We shall see… Why don’t they just keep the (new) code base at del.icio.us, and have “www.delicious.com” redirect to –>> del.icio.us ??? Then it wont inconvenience anyone. The current userbase would have a smooth transition and the new marketing scheme of “delicious.com” can move into fruition. They gave us the links, to the scripts, to build extension sites with and I hope they remember that some of us actually did just that. I wish I had gotten an invite for 2.0, let me in please if anyone is listening!!! My site, http://www.msersen.net

    Apparently it’s been built on the Symfony PHP Framework

    The new design looks great. As a fan of the Symfony framework (been using it for a year and a half now), I’m especially excited by that news as well.

    Who’s all responsible for the new look? And how does one get an invitation!
