  Yay! I will be happy that del.icio.us is faster.

• mobish  |  Jun 4 2005 at 6:18 pm

  I say: the site’s fast enough, get new chairs instead ;)

• Ryan Heneise  |  Jun 4 2005 at 6:56 pm

  On the del.icio.us pages (see http://del.icio.us/ryenski ) the notice says:

  “We will be down tomorrow, Sunday June 4th….” I think it should say “Sunday June 5″.

  del.icio.us down

  A bit of site news.

• Mike B.  |  Jun 4 2005 at 10:28 pm

  This is offtopic, but I was curious what license the deli.ico.us javascript for adding new tags into a bookmark is under?

  I’m working on my own tag based system for messaging (not a delicious clone) and really liked what you guys had done.

  I realize it’s like 6 lines of javascript and I could just view-source and pull it, but I wouldn’t feel right about it without your permission.

  Thanks and Good luck with the install.

  could you guys post a basic couple of points about what’s upcoming after this upgrade? glad the blog has begun and thanks for everything. :)

• Ravi  |  Jun 5 2005 at 2:12 am

  I hope you do not have any plans to make it a paid service - given its popularity - after you move to the new servers ;) .

  Will remain always a del.icio.us admirer…

  What is this?? http://new.del.icio.us/

• brian connolly  |  Jun 5 2005 at 2:59 am

  probably a test subdomain.

• Meghan  |  Jun 5 2005 at 5:05 am

  Look. There are people willing to give you money to buy new chairs. I am one of those people. Please set up a New Chair Fund before a rogue team of del.icio.us users kidnaps you all and takes you to your local Ikea.

• Dave  |  Jun 5 2005 at 8:17 am

  Nice :P will be nice too see the website on fast new servers :P SHINNY NEW!

• Small Paul  |  Jun 5 2005 at 10:35 am

  Yeah, guys, come on. Servers are ten-a-penny, but you only get one butt. Look after it.

  I am proud to say that I hereby pledge ten US dollars to The Delicious Butt Fund.

  I implore y’all to join me.

• Rob Merrill  |  Jun 5 2005 at 12:02 pm

  I suggest you don’t talk about “the Delicious Butt Fund” in public–unless you want to start rumors around your office.

• pvg  |  Jun 5 2005 at 12:15 pm

  The first rule of delicious butt fund is you do not talk about delicious butt fund. The second rule of delicious butt fund is YOU DO NOT TALK ABOUT DELICIOUS BUTT FUND.

  If it’s your first time at delicious butt fund, you have to butt.

  Hi Joshua (and Co. ?),

  I wanted to say ‘Hi’ and congratulations for one of the most innovative and useful services on the internet. del.icio.us is (imho) on a par with Google when it was launched, and now probably my first point of call when looking for information on the net. Props!

  Due to the increasing popularity of del.icio.us, for the last few months you are lucky if your bookmarks even make the front page (the posts seem to come in too fast).

  Also I’d be more than happy to make a donation to the fund.

• Larkhill  |  Jun 5 2005 at 12:55 pm

  Can I say how pleasantly surprised I am to see how cultured everyone is around here. Good luck with the erm… fund, the better the chairs the better the butts I say, LOL ;)

  Mike B., if your still online, the Mozilla example bookmarklet code here[1] does a similar job.

  the most genialoid site on the net deserves the best servers!

• namxam  |  Jun 5 2005 at 1:13 pm

  no… i think the worse the chair… the better the work. i traded my comfortable chair for a stool. and i am more productive than ever… and i think it is so much better for my back. so… spend the money for drugs, girls and music… ;)

• blunck2  |  Jun 5 2005 at 1:50 pm

  Pops for moving the site to new servers. It’ll be good when del.icio.us has the qui.ckne.ss

• lattelvr  |  Jun 5 2005 at 2:00 pm

  good luck updating the servers!!! I say go with an Apple server, but so what. Hope these new ones make a reasonable difference.

  Kudos to all of the delicious team.

  YAY NEW SERVERS! I love you, del.icio.us!

• Tinhead  |  Jun 5 2005 at 3:17 pm

  Great to hear that the upgrade is going faster than expected. As at current rate, the rebuilding of the indices will be done by 3:30pm, a total 30 minute savings on the estimated amount of time to do the project.

  ‘del.icio.us’ withdrawal symptoms alert..!!

  on a technfetishistic note.. I’d love to know how much bandwidth this beast consumes daily?

• datadreamer  |  Jun 5 2005 at 3:56 pm

  Keep up the great work! Your site has changed the way I navigate the web and I’m sure it will do the same for many others in the future.

  tag bundle clouds rule :)

  thank you very much!

• Raymond M. Kristiansen  |  Jun 5 2005 at 5:31 pm

  Great update, I like the tag bundle clouds. However, I have received some strange “you are banned for 30 minutes” message. More details here: http://dltq.blogs.com/vlog/2005/06/delicious_sorry.html

  Any clue to what I might have done wrong?

• Parsi  |  Jun 5 2005 at 5:44 pm

  Now I google less than before, and use del.icio.us more. With tags becoming more and more in number and with higher diversity, Google might go second in rank.

  Thank you. I must consider donation.

• compguy  |  Jun 5 2005 at 5:53 pm

  I’m getting the “you are banned for 30 minutes” message as well. And I have waited over 30 minutes and I’m still apparently banned. I suppose this is just a first few hours problem while the server gets completely into step.

• notmuch  |  Jun 5 2005 at 8:15 pm

  Can’t wait for del.icio.us to get faster. If I had to pick one feature for del.icio.us to improve, it has to be speed. The kind of service del.icio.us offers, I think speed is one of the most crucial factors. It has to be near real time, less then a second type of deal.

  Most of the time I end up searching google even after my initial urge of looking it in del.icio.us (and I know I have the relevant resources bookmarked in my del.icio.us bookmarks).

  Btw. it is relatively faster now.

• David Marshall  |  Jun 5 2005 at 8:19 pm

  Thanks for the Bundled Clouds! Thanks for the site. Thanks for the simplicity with the low overhead. It’s great for work, fun, bettering myself, and communicating with others about all of the above.

• Josh  |  Jun 5 2005 at 9:23 pm

  Nice job on the move to the new servers! It’s incredibly fast now.

• mardoen  |  Jun 5 2005 at 10:19 pm

  tag filtering seems flawed when using the api. I’m currently using two different requests, one each for a different tag, and they sometimes return the correct result, sometimes something different altogether (either the full list of links, or what looks like a return set for a different tag). maybe you implemented a new caching algorithm that isn’t working correctly yet?

  Thanks for implementing the “experimental” posting interface in the “copy/edit this item” screen. I never used to click those links because I had become Dependant on not having to type tags. Clicky-goodness!

• b7j0c  |  Jun 6 2005 at 12:02 am

  server upgrades…brings up an interesting issue. m”Y!” employer probably has enough *excess* serving capacity (meaning totally unused) to power 50 sites like this. wonder why no one has got into the business of abstracting these resources out and metering them. amazing how some firms are so overcapacity while others are undercapacity. well, its good for hardware vendors i suppose.

  mardoen: that was a useless bug report. email me the specifics, please.

• mardoen  |  Jun 6 2005 at 11:05 am

  ;) yeah I see what you mean…

  Actually everything’s back to normal now, so even if I tried I couldn’t reproduce it. But I’ll mail you as soon as I see it happening again, and then with a reproducible scenario.

  Btw. thanks for del.icio.us! I’m using it as bookmarked entertainment database and it has changed the way I surf the web; I never could find a feed reader workflow that I liked, and thanks to del.icio.us I have a fine replacement. I basically use a small script that retrieves all of my links with a specific tag, and then redirects to a random link from that selection. This means I only bookmark 3-4 links on every browser/platform that I use, one for each tag I’m interested in (”blogs”, “daily”, “revisit”, …) but am still watching about 200 pages. Don’t like the site? Click again.

  All API queries are cached (as described in your API docs), and a primitive history function makes shure I don’t revisit the same site too often. And as it’s all cross-platform, and the links to the script easily set up in any browser, I have the best cross-platform content/entertainment platform I could ask for.

  The bug I saw was this: when I clicked on e.g. my “blogs” bookmark, which should redirect to a random link tagged with “blogs”, I sometimes was redirected to a totally unrelated link from my collection. After some poking around it seemed that an API query to get all links with tag XYZ might actually return all links with tag ABC. Sometimes it worked fine, sometimes it didn’t; this seemed to change every time I modified link entries or added new links to del.icio.us (that’s why I assumed it was a caching issue).

  I haven’t changed the script itself in weeks, so I assumed it was a side-effect of moving the servers.

  Love the new servers, they rock! The new features are great too. Keep them coming, but not too fast.

  Please keep the same clean, stylish user interface.

  del.icio.us tags as a cloud

  del.icio.us has new servers and some more new features. Now you can see your tags as a cloud also (like part of my cloud above) and sort your tags by alpha, or frequency or bundle - you can edit the bundles too. And there is a stuff called “daily blog…
