I, like many of you, knew it was coming. I just thought I would have more time. Yes, I am talking about the makeover the new owners have given Delicious.com.

This is an awesome & detail post. Thank for all the research and information!

Found this post on deliciouslymad and agree with it so much. Thanks for all the links and research. Nice to be able to read all the issues and find others' thoughts.
