Changes in Del.iocio.us

Photobucket

Del.icio.us (acquired by Yahoo in 2005) has been making some changes to their product. I like the new user interface on the pop-up box, think the suggested tags are “smarter” than previously, and like the new firefox toolbar that shows my recently tagged links. However, I don’t understand why they now have a limit on the length of the description. I find value in bookmarking all the recently funded companies in specific sectors I watch, clipping the raise press release into the description field and updating when I see news about that company. But now, I have to ensure that the description is less than the allotted length of 255 characters. What is the advantage of them putting a cap on the length?

    Have you tried Diigo? http://www.diigo.com/index

    After being a del.icio.us user for quite awhile I switched to Diigo and haven’t looked back.

    That was my exact thought! Why the limit otherwise? =)

    Have the del.icio.us developers been using Twitter too much? ;)
