Being a comprehensive list of the things Delicious has done to piss me off. In this post: screengrabs, ranting, and cattiness; my addiction to slash is laid bare; I accidentally reveal that I still use Hotmail. This post was intended as informative and comes across - I think - as about half informative and half plain old moaning, so, yeah, bear

What a mess. I don't use Delicious but have heard about this douchery. What is it with companies who go out of their way to deliberately piss off their user base?

[fera_festiva]

Exactly! Especially since they were never widely used, but the user base is generally very loyal. It's not like making it less functional is going to attract more people.

It's like they got their business plan from the Underpants Gnomes.

Step One: Create great product.
Step Two: Piss off userbase.
Step Three: Profit!
