Del.icio.us back in Web 1.0

Delicious.com?

Mis-spelled and “dotted” domain names have become the mandatory feature of Web 2.0 sites. I’d venture to say Del.icio.us was, if not the first one, then certainly in the first wave of companies of this sort.

Delicious.com?

Not only the domain name but also screwed-up user experience has pushed the new release of the social bookmarking site back into Web 1.0 world where its parent, Yahoo, resides.

Let me qualify that: the very first contact I had with the new release was when I chose to sign-in from the del.icio.us Firefox extension. It led to a Yahoo page saying I wasn’t authorized to access that page.

Unauthorized to log in?

I hope that once I get in, I’ll find a reason or two not to churn.

Damn.
