Delicious gets serious upgrade, world makes another cup of tea

Fashion… what a wicked mistress you are. Back in the day (2005), Delicious was gravitational – objects gyrated around it, and you were nothing without a cooler Delicious bookmarks page than the next delusional geek.
Four years (and one Yahoo buy-out) later, fewer objects gyrate around Planet D. Firefox probably didn’t help (why stick your bookmarks into a public cloud, when a mix of the Awesome Bar and Weave reduces the whole tagging concept to dust?). And also, we kind of just… forgot about it. Phrases such ‘where links go to die’ didn’t help.
But hey, today’s a D-Day. Delicious has just enjoyed a serious splash of paint. Better recommendations, better tagging, better search… all good. Now all I need to do is care.
