"Its popularity as a bookmarking tool continued to grow, but the social features of the site were generally ignored in the face of much more exciting progress elsewhere, like Digg, StumbleUpon’s changes and the explosion of Twitter and Facebook."
I guess the trend nowadays is that every site evolves into Facebook or something... I liked Delicious the way it was: save bookmarks, access them from anywhere, look what other people are bookmarking. I didn't need it to become yet another social network type thing with lists of friends, Twitter integration, comments and whatever. There are already a gazillion sites that do that.
Anyway, just my $0.02.
