For those using the social bookmarking site del.icio.us, it has a new look and some new features. I mostly use the browser add-on tools and rarely visit the delicious site. So I first became aware of version 2.0 when reading the Delicious blog. The update includes a cleaner look, improved speed, and new web address, delicious.com instead of del.icio.us.  They changed the character limit for notes to 1000. Woohoo! Links for You now appear in your Inbox, and you will use the Save a new book option in place of Post. To see a complete list of the new features visit the What’s New on Delicious webpage. Watch this short animation to see the interface transformation. I think you will find the transition to the new version an easy one.
