Invites to the delicious preview
Update: Oh! And since even I missed this link in the original blog post, you can request to be invited. Not sure if that results in an email, either, though.
Update #2: Also, we're trying out Vanilla forums as an alternative to the delicious mailing list. If you're invited to the preview, your login should work there too. We might even launch public forums once del 2 is out.
In case anyone's forgotten: I work on delicious. Since I've had a steady stream of friends and acquaintances asking me about how they can get into the invite, I thought I'd mention this:
You may already have been invited! :)
Unlike most Web 2.0 sites that open up a preview or invite-only thing with a mysterious sign-up form, we can't fire off an email when we create an account for someone on our preview. It's thanks to our privacy policy - although we have the email addresses of most everyone we've been adding to the preview, we're not allowed to send anything other than password recovery emails. Weird, I know, but sometimes organizations try to follow things like that.
So, the problem is that we have many more people invited to the preview than have actually started using it. As briefly mentioned in the blog post announcing the preview, you need to check your "Links for You" to see if you've been sent a link to the preview.
But, if your invite has possibly been buried in other links from friends - you might just try signing into the preview with the username and password from your existing delicious account! It might just work.

Sniff. Cry. I'm not.
Wah. Nor am I. We are network buds and everything? What's up with that?
So if I haven't gotten my invite yet and I log in trough the preview link (which I did) should my bookmarks still have been imported? Currently I have none of my bookmarks from the original site.
if i promise to use the preview, can i get an invite, please?
