How is this an encyclopedic article? It seems like an advertisment for this service? -- Zandarx talk 02:16, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
There was a casual mention in a blog entry( http://www.kottke.org/05/04/a-whole-new-internet ) that del.icio.us used to be something called "Muxway". If someone could find out more about what Muxway was and add it to the entry, I think that would be valuable. -- User:ElfWord
The wrong title template should be removed because, grammatically, even words that are not normally capitalized are capitalized when they begin a sentence, paragraph or article.
muxway was joshua's original prototype but del.icio.us is a much evolved version of muxway
"Currently, del.icio.us is the most popular website using such a domain name." — what's the source for this claim? My gut feeling is that cr.yp.to is more popular, because it's been around longer and Dan Bernstein's tools (qmail, ezmlm, tinydns, etc.) are widely used. What's more, I'm not sure what the proper measure of popularity should really be. Given the nature of the site, I'll grant that del.icio.us almost surely gets more pageviews, but I have no doubt that cr.yp.to has received (and continues to receive) far more unique visitors, most of whom simply download one of the tools and never return. -- Wclark 16:09, 13 October 2005 (UTC)
Arguable statement you make there. A quick look at
Alexa's traffic rankings comparing the two sites shows a fairly significiant difference. Daily Reach is a measure of unique visitors. --

I for one have never heard of cr.yp.to until now. It may well be widely known in the unix/linux enthuiast sphere, but perhaps not at all outside that. Matt Whyndham ( talk) 10:42, 17 August 2008 (UTC)
If there's going to be a capital letter due to technical limitations, shouldn't the name always be "del.icio.us" when referred to in the article? I don't really know what del.icio.us is, so I can't really make any decisions...
Who's going to write the details of delicious.com allegedly being bought and redirected after funding/purchase? http://businesslogs.com/technology/the_domain_name_game.php
Not alleged. Actual fact. Happened before the aquisition. -- Joshua
This argument has probably gone away now that the service is officially "Delicious". Having said that, if the sentence starts with a "del.icio.us", it should preserve its lower case. Matt Whyndham ( talk) 10:45, 17 August 2008 (UTC)
Could someone please clarify the text to make it clear whether collections can be made private or not?
Individual bookmarks can be made private. What do you mean by collections? Dreamyshade 18:04, 11 April 2006 (UTC)
If, by collection you mean tags, then there is currently not a way to mark a whole tag as private. Nothing is stopping you from createing a 'private' tag and then ensure all bookmarks with that tag are marked private. But there's no way to automatically do this. -- Vrillusions 21:07, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
How can you make existing bookmarks to private, like I have bookmarks at http://www.delicious.com/callmeasad so how can I make all of them private without re-posting? Any help? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 110.39.10.5 ( talk) 18:35, 1 September 2011 (UTC)
how did it get its name? I mean, why not "deli.cio.us" or "de.lic.ious"?
It had to end with .us to be a valid domain name - see domain hack and del.icio.us sounds better than deli.cio.us i guess. BruceMagnus 03:17, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
No, it's del.icio.us because the founder owned icio.us already. Dreamyshade 08:16, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
I started using del.icio.us recently, and I'm noting it's almost obnoxiously lacking in advertisements or any other sort of income. Does it make a profit? If so, how? If not, how did Yahoo! justify its multi-million-dollar purchase of it? Garrett Albright 00:33, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
How much money is made from running del.icio.us? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.8.175.33 ( talk) 16:00, 14 January 2009 (UTC)

That was my first attempted edit at an article. I was unsure if I should use an inline link or use a reference, so I decided to use a reference instead. If this is incorrect, I apologize and ask that someone inform me of the correct way to link to outside content. I'm still new, but I think I did it right. JMowery 20:00, 13 September 2007 (UTC)
I'm currently testing the preview version of the new "Delicious" and am enjoying it. The company states that it will be known as "Delicious" instead of "Del.icio.us" from now on.
I might start a section about the new name, and hopefully someone can clean up my mistakes as I'm sure there will be one or two. JMowery 20:22, 13 September 2007 (UTC)
Looks like you're doing fine as a new editor. :) Dreamyshade 21:28, 13 September 2007 (UTC)
the following two items would be good to the entry:
1) business model of del.icio.us
2) del.icio.us in news
it doesnt seem like an encyclopedic entry now
Gauravm1312 03:18, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
Yeah, there's a lot of information in reliable news sources that isn't included in the article yet, for example in the Technology Review article or this old Guardian one. I'd write it myself but that would be even more of a conflict of interest than I already maintain on this article. :) Dreamyshade 08:37, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
I dont say delicious. I say del-issyoh dot U S. -- 81.105.243.17 ( talk) 20:58, 1 February 2008 (UTC) Then your wrong. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Pete147 ( talk • contribs) 11:14, 5 July 2008 (UTC)
Has there been any information in regards to what will happen to delicious if Yahoo are bought by Microsoft?-- NeF ( talk) 01:53, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
The referenced URL [1] says delicious has 3 million users, whereas the Wikipedia article claims five million. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.8.128.180 ( talk) 19:30, 3 June 2009 (UTC)
Under "Site description," the article reads "Delicious uses a non-hierarchical classification system in which users can tag each of their bookmarks with freely chosen index terms (generating a kind of folksonomy)." Is that something a typical reader can understand? If the goal of Wikipedia is to create a "free encyclopedia," then the article need to be as comprehensible as other encyclopedias, IOW, the article needs to describe Delicious in a way that a typical reader can understand. 68.161.14.45 ( talk) 15:17, 15 August 2009 (UTC)

The artcile at zdnet http://www.zdnet.com/blog/violetblue/avos-delicious-disaster-lessons-from-a-complete-failure/705 says: "Among the required changes is disallowing users to use the service with their previous handles, and making everyone use a 'real name'". This is something that I have not seen discussed elsewhere - is it really true? Is Avos trying to commit suicide? Ottawahitech ( talk) 12:35, 30 September 2011 (UTC)

I think it will be interesting to include new features that had been introduced to Delicious since its latest UI redesign last September. For example, Stack had undergone some changes recently and now it is "social" in the sense that users can contribute together to manage a Stack. Source: http://blog.delicious.com/2012/01/stacks-go-social/ Cht12 ( talk) 05:56, 3 February 2012 (UTC)
Thanks for your comment. I just added a new section to describe the new Delicious features under AVOS, and expand a bit on the site description and history section of the page. I hope that they are well-supported by the sources I included. Cht12 ( talk) 21:01, 18 March 2012 (UTC)
This article is quite trustworthy, quite biased, somewhat complete, quite well-written,and quite accurate. Lede could be a bit more concise and compact (less paragraphs). Maybe a section comparing the site with others would be interesting. Sean ( talk) 22:10, 30 March 2012 (UTC)
