New and Delicious
Over the past few months we have continued to roll out back-end Delicious infrastructure improvements to ensure that our experience is fast and reliable. While critical, these back-end improvements are mostly invisible to users. Today’s release, announced moments ago on Yahoo Search Blog, brings new user facing features and enhancements that are focused on simplifying sharing, surfacing super fresh bookmarks, and upgrading the Delicious search experience.
Fresh on Delicious.com
Delicious.com homepage gets Fresh (see Vik Singh’s post here for a deeper review of this feature) by surfacing the most recently saved Delicious bookmarks that are buzzing on Twitter. See what is buzzing right this very moment.
Sharing your Bookmarks: Email and Tweeting
Without ever leaving the Save Form you can Email and Tweet. Get the new Delicious Firefox extension here.
Powerful New Search Tools
Filter by tags and timeframes, and see historical save trends of bookmarks. Try it yourself here.
Each of these features and enhancements are worthy of a deeper look. See here for:
Delicious.com homepages gets Fresh by Vik Singh, a Yahoo architect.
We will follow that up with posts on
Delicious Search: Fast and Powerful. by Nathan Arnold and Chris Draycott, Delicious Engineers
Share Your Bookmarks via Email and Tweets by Rocco Caputo and Ariel Seidman, Delicious Engineers and Product, respectively.
Thanks,
Ariel Seidman |

I like the timeline. Go Delicious! Go.

I think being able to automatically save your twitter posted links would be a brilliant feature. You can even incorporate hash tags; I’ve been meaning to write something like that for myself for a while now, but I wouldn’t be mad or anything if you guys beat me to it.

Is there a search view where I can simply see all of my bookmarks matching a search query without seeing anything fancy, or other users’ bookmarks?
I’m trying to embed it in a small iframe at the top of my google search results so minimizing size is important.

Is there some way to access the old save form? Suggestions aren’t working for me with this new one. I’ve never really needed to send bookmarks to someone anyway, since email does that just fine.
But this new form is really slowing me down.
Ariel Seidman | Aug 4 2009 at 10:09 am
@Wisco which save form are you using.
After you enter your tags you can just hit Return/Enter and this will automatically save the bookmark and close the save form.

Love the new changes. Keep up the good work.

PLEASE CHANGE THE VIEW ON DELICIOUS NETWORK UNDER THE SEND TAB BACK TO SHOW ALL HORIZONTALLY! NO ONE WANTS TO SCROLL THROUGH THEIR FRIENDS SLOWLY AND ADD EACH TAG! PLEASE!
USER INTERFACE #FAIL!

@Cork
Thanks for feedback on this.
By the way you can start typing the user name or email address into the Send field and it will auto-suggest possible matches.

Guys, you’ve broken it.
The new save page sucks because I can no longer just tab to automatically select the tag that comes up. So now I have to type out the whole tag or use the mouse to select one of the tags that comes up. Makes it a lot slower when all you want to do is quickly save a bookmark.
I primarily use Opera on Mac. The tab thing worked fine until you added the stupid twitter bar.
Also, is there an option to mark all bookmarks as private by default??

How about some checkbox labels, to adhere to Fitts’ Law?
Nice development though, keep it up

as Cork and Wesley said it already.. now to tag some pages for my network hurts realy much.. the twitter thing is not so bad, but to switch to a new tab and to scroll in a list is very unproductive…
please fix it or make it optional..

Hi,
The first thing I noticed after sharing my links is that my for:user tags have disappeared from my tags list in my bookmark view.
Why?
They were there before, they are my tags and now you are not displaying them. Why remove functionality?
I now have no idea whatsoever who I’ve sent bookmarks too. Sure I could look up separate tags in the url bar but I used MY tags to pivot to view all links, or to quickly glance at who I have sent what to.
I’d understand not putting the email tags in there immediately because of time constraints (that should be added soon!) but to REMOVE functionality, something that has been there since sharing was first enabled.

Delicious is about my data. My bookmarks, My tags, My network. I expect My data to be displayed and not removed - especially when it’s not harming anyone. In the end, for:user tags are only displayed by me. They’re private, no one else can see them anyway.
nadia | Aug 5 2009 at 10:37 am
idea : for the Twitter auto-post function, maybe the title link can be add with the link ;)
Wisco | Aug 5 2009 at 11:11 am
@Ariel Seidman
Wesley explains the problem as well.

It used to be that when you started typing a tag in, you’d get options for completing it. That seems to be gone now and it’s a real time-waster not having that feature.

@Wisco and @Wesley
Regarding the tabbing issue. It is an issue in the bookmarklet that we will address. In the meantime you can use the Firefox extension where you can tab to complete the suggested tag https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/3615

[…] Fresh and Delicious: The team over at our favorite social bookmarking site unwrapped some tasty treats this week. Delicious now has new search tools, including the ability to search within a date range and filter by tags. You’ll also find rich content (YouTube videos, Flickr images, Yelp data) right on the search results page. Since we all want to know what everybody’s up to, Delicious has added the “Fresh Bookmarks” tab to let you see the most recently-saved bookmarks that are buzzing on Twitter. And speaking of Twitter, you can now tweet your bookmarks from right within Delicious. Ditto for emailing. More here and over on the Delicious blog. […]
