Delicious 2.0 Coming Soon! Again?
Techtree News Staff, Jul 28, 2008 2030 hrs ISTSince the announcement of 2.0 version's "imminent release" in January, nothing's happened. Now Delicious claims its finally ready to launch 2.0.
If the recent blog post at Delicious is to be believed, the 2.0 version of the social bookmarking website is slated for release anytime now! Good news? Maybe. Maybe not! Because the last time we heard about the 2.0 version's "imminent release" was half a year ago, in January, and it never happened.
According to Yahoo, the new version is "almost ready" and all the issues have been fixed. TechCrunch reports that sources inside the company have confirmed that the issue was an inability to scale the product properly. Some team members suggested caching of bookmark data to reduce the load on the database servers. Others thought a fresh set of database queries were needed every time a user pulled up a page on Delicious. Since the page lists every tag they've ever used, the site crawled.
Let's hope the company delivers on its promise this time around.
