The revamped delicious is out now. This was a Yahoo startup which was saved by AVOS, the start up by YouTube founders Chad Hurley and Steve Chen, in April 2011.
Today AVOS has launched the new taste of the service and they say it,”rebuilt from the ground up.”
They have annouced in the blog,”Hey there, we have some great news – the new Delicious site is now live! Today’s a big day for us, and there’s lots to share. We’ll try to keep it brief so you can start using the new service and giving us feedback!”
“We’re proud of what we built, but the process has also brought the site “back to beta” as a work in progress. Much more work will be needed to realize our vision: keeping the essence of Delicious – the premier social bookmarking tool – while building upon its core functionality to create a great discovery service, too,” they added.
Now the website is live and the new challenge is to make it popular among users. The homepage list of links which are some thumbnails of images to make it attractive.These collections are now called stacks.
There are plenty of other changes, but the core idea is simple, Delicious wants to make it easier to discover good stuff. It’s something that most web services struggle to do, Google, Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr and so on, yet something that no one has nailed perfectly yet.
