Del.icio.us Redesign Includes Thumbnails
The popular del.icio.us social bookmarking website has undergone a redesign. The website now shows thumbnails of the webpages people are bookmarking. The update was announced on the del.icio.us blog.
Along with our usual round of backend upgrades, patches, and bugfixes, we've released a new frontpage design that incorporates feedback and ideas from our previous design. The main change is that we’ve added thumbnails for the top links on the hotlist. We've also started showing popular tags again, which we think is a great way to find interesting new links.It does make the front page of the website look more exciting than before.
