Wide-eyed and Jaded

What was more interesting and fun to me than Cuil’s launch this week? Delicious‘ redesign! I normally find out about these things on Twitter, but not this time! I logged in to my account to pull something up for one of my colleagues and was shocked by an aesthetically pleasing user interface.

The good:

• Sleek presentation!
• I love the UI’s organization and how much easier it is now to search for something in my hoards of bookmarks
• The Top 10 Tags chart is much nicer to look at than a long tailed list

I’m not sure about:

• I might like the Top Tags more if they were listed in order of most to least tagged rather than alphabetically
• I really liked the del.icio.us brand!
• My blog’s Delicious widget is messed up now

I’m sure I’ll learn about and fall in love with other details of the new site as I play around with it a little more. But for now I suggest checking out this video from Delicious that walks the viewer through the redesign:

Now that you’ve read what I think, I want to know what you love and hate and the new site!
