Looks like Yahoo did an overhaul of Del.icio.us last week and moved the domain to delicious.com. The new version is supposed to be faster and easier to learn, and I’ll have to say that so far, I like what I see. If you haven’t ever used Delicious, it is extremely handy. It is a social bookmarking page, where you can organize your bookmarks through tagging, and pages get ranked through that tagging. The more users who bookmark a site for the tags you are searching, the better they do in the results. I often use it as a search engine.

Delicious was starting to have speed issues under its old architecture and Yahoo has stated that this new back end is far more scalable and the site is running much faster. The new search engine now offers several different ways to search for things. These include the traditional search, tag searching, personal bookmark searching, searching a friend or individual user’s bookmarks, and searching through bookmarks in the user’s social network. Yahoo plans to add even more new features in the future.

If you haven’t tried out delicious, I encourage you to give it a test drive!
