Delicious 2.0 is more than a pretty new face

I’m no longer at Yahoo! and I no longer work on Delicious, but I’m still a huge supporter. And, since I’m pretty sure everyone over there is either burnt out or still insanely busy at the moment, it might be awhile before anyone tells the full story of what this relaunch offers. As [...]
