Looks so strange after you got used to the old UI. Hover over effects and animations everywhere make it look like a kaleidoscope. Hate that.

Some link URLs have been changed and are normalized in the wrong way! Link to my site now has 'www.' prepended to it. Lots of scripts and apps that rely on URL being stable will fail.

Now that I use the new one I'm wondering what the long wait was for. The search stuff is ok, but I don't really see anything else besides that and the new look. It's much slower than the old one. =/ I hope they plan to roll out more because this is pretty lackluster considering how long they've been talking about it.

Was this worth the wait? I don't think so.

The changes are small and the design is uninspiring. Maybe I'll see the improvements take a bigger affect the more I used it.

This is would of been alright about a year ago, but now my first impression is... yawn.

last.fm 2.0, Facebook 2.0 and even MySpace 2.0 all came before delicios 2.0, and they all (even MySpace) at least feel worth something.

(also, couldn't you just have linked to delicious instead of TechCrunch? Lately I'm getting this 'telling you what you don't really need to know' vibe from them and it's killing me)

Someday I'll have to tell the whole story.

Suffice it for now that the separation between product and engineering makes neither better.
