Delicious recently relaunched with not only a much needed visual overhaul, but also adding some features that have been missing for far too long.
First of all, I have to be truthful – I was never a big delicious user to begin with. I couldn’t get past the way it looked and not really being all that into “social bookmarking”, probably didn’t help either. I wanted to do a screencast tour of all of the new features, but I wasn’t really sure what was new and what just looked new. Fortunately, just as I was about to pull my hair out trying to decide what features to cover, I received a message from a fellow blogger known around the blogosphere as “Paisano” telling me about a guest post he wrote on Sarah Lacy’s blog. I asked if he minded if I used it as a guide for my screencast and he was kind enough to say yes. So, thank you, Paisano, for the great post! It’s definitely worth a read as it points out the good and the bad. (I’ve also been told that Paisano is now a regular featured columnist on Mashable, so check out his writing there too.) If you want to see the new features of Delicious 2.0, then watch the screencast below:

Excellent demo, girl! Thanks for the props too! Glad my verbose review was helpful. Amazing how you can reduce all that gobiddy gook of text into 3 minutes of info that is so easily digested! Maybe we can do this more often?

Absolutely! Having both a well written article and a screencast is the best of both worlds!
Great tutorial, thanks!
Somewhat disappointingly it looks like most of Delicious’ improvements were limited to the User Experience (UX) — no new innovations in tagging. While I would have liked to have seen more innovation, the improvements to the UX are AWESOME! I just started to dig into everything that the new Delicious is (and may be able to be)…
