Whenever there's change, there's always some degree of resistance. That being said...
Why the obsession with sparse layouts? Too much information can be negative, yes, but the old layout was compact yet not overwhelming.
Where's the tag cloud? This may be the single most annoying thing with the new layout... Not only the tag cloud was a more compact way to display all the tags, but it also emphasized the more frequently used ones.
Where's the tag filtering? Previously I could click on a tag, and then add other tags to display only the bookmarks that matched all of them.
What's up with the picture on links whenever they have a comment?
And finally...
When you have something that works, why in $DEITY's name will you go out on a rampage and rewrite it from scratch? You know, if people used the site, maybe it had something going for it...
I never considered switching away from delicious before. But now that it is a different beast altogether, with most of what made it useful for me before (I couldn't care less about "social" features), I just might.
- apgwoz 15y agoYou still can filter by multiple tags. Just keep clicking on tags in the sidebar. I rather like the promise. Since this is basically a complete rewrite, I'm sure they'll take into consideration the feedback from their users. And I'm sure there will be a lot of it.
- CrLf 15y agoFrankly, I dislike "promise". You do not remove features from users without a significant reason, you work within the constrains of what you have and build upon that. The tag list isn't even ordered alphabetically anymore, for $DEITY's sake... How would users react in they opened Word one day and found out it was actually Notepad, just because Microsoft wanted to create a "beautiful thing" and rewrite Word from scratch...?

- murki 15y agoWell isn't that what's probably happening with Win8?
- jamesbritt 15y agoThe tag list isn't even ordered alphabetically anymore, for $DEITY's sake... I just checked my account, expanded All Tags, and they're listed alphabetically. I also saw there were options to show up to 100 bookmarks per page, and reduce the amount of detail shown. Looks very much like old Delicious. If I could make the font size of the bookmark titles the same size as pretty much all other text on the page (and therefore get more items visible at a time) I'd be more than happy. And I can fix that with Greasemonkey.
