After months of work, the new Delicious is almost ready to come out of the oven.
- jacobbijani 18y agoInteresting that they are apparently abandoning the del.icio.us domain hack. "soon to become http://delicious.com/your_username http://delicious.com/your_username"
- joshu 18y agoit was just too painful hearing people pronounce it "del issy oos?"
- unalone 18y agoIt's more fun listening to people who try to pronounce the periods. Del-dot-issio-dot-us. Or, my favorite, a friend who pronounced periods by coughing. We kept offering him water. It's a bit ridiculous that icio.us was never set to redirect, though. What a waste of a domain name. Unless there's a good SEO reason to do that?
- joshu 18y agodelicious.com has redirected to del.icio.us for several years now. I never changed it because the most active part of the userbase liked it.
- jacobbijani 18y agoThat's what's crazy about HN. You have to be careful what you say, because even the founders of sites as big as delicious post here... Anyway, I think you misread the comment. How come just "icio.us" (no del subdomain) doesn't redirect to the full del.icio.us?
- joshu 18y agoNever occured to me. Why bother? Way back there was a second copy of delicious set up at susp.icio.us for testing, but I had to take it down as people were using it.
- jacobbijani 18y agoI guess just for consistency's sake. And so people like me can see what happens when you take off the subdomain :)
- unalone 18y agoTo be honest, mostly laziness. Probably not a good enough line of reasoning. And I agree with above: I'm always amazed at the sorts of people that read HN.
- beaudeal 18y agonow that there are about one hundred less executives to go through at yahoo, this thing might actually make it out the door (assuming y! isn't bought before then haha)
