Delicious has gotten rid of the dots (no more del.icio.us), added new search, social networking and tagging features along with a brand new redesign.

That's a relief. This is good chace for me to build my Delicious profile... one of the reasons I didn't do it before was because of those darn dots!

I wondered how much they had to pay for that new domain name?

Good question Bill. To the best of my knowledge they've had it for a while. Checked it out on the Wayback Machine but Y! seems to be blocking them :p

Delicious.com was first registered by someone in 1995, and Del.icio.us in 2002. Yahoo probably bought the domain name after the acquisition, unless Joshua did before he sold to Yahoo.

I like the dropping of the dots. Especially since Y! is trying extra hard to market Delicious beyond the Web 2.0 crowd.

I love the cleaned up interface. Still simple, but nicer. Ohh and the ! in Yahoo is cool. :)

Haha! It's ok in the logo, but as the official name I can't stand it.

I just love it when the Inquirer posts Yahoo stories like:

Yahoo! Redesigns! New! Delicious! 2.0!

Me likes and thinks it's, well, DELICIOUS!

Those dots were always very confusing and spoke out (to me) as 'Delete Us'.
