Y'all see the man hanging out of the spaceship with the really big gun? Now I'm not saying you weren't easy to find. It was kinda out of our way, and he didn't want to come in the first place. Man's lookin' to kill some folk. So really it's his will y'all should worry about thwarting.

Our process isn't, uh, remotely scientific, but I'm always up for more Kirk/McCoy. If Delicious has unfucked itself, I'd be happy to dig in.

Oh, crap! What did they do to it? It was working just fine yesterday, or maybe the day before, not sure when I last looked at it, now it's all ker-frelled. Well, that wasn't very nice of it. I guess I'll have to give you those recs another time, at least en masse.

Good God, I can't believe how fucked up that is! It worked perfectly fine before, now half my tags give me 404 errors. ::tears hair out::

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Their to-do list in the FAQ is LONG. This is about was well thought out as the Gawker upgrade.

That is a clusterfuck of massive proportions. My tag list is totally screwed, I can't even see most of my tags in it, it's not alphabetical anymore, and they've invented new ones and stuck them in there. Plus, any tag with a slash mark in it like Kirk/McCoy gives me a 404!

Man, I bookmarked another bookmarking site to move all of them over because I was afraid of something like this, but I got lazy. Oy. That'll teach me.

I am *so* in love with my extra tabs, though. If they just added stuff (like the three features) without breaking ten, I'd be just fine. If they had a timeline for replacing the stuff they say they're working on, that'd be totally responsible.

I sent off my bug report/complaint. I'm totally on that train now. I looked around for alternatives before, and I didn't like any of them, and I still don't. I want a fixed Delicious.

Wow. I know the FAQ is evidence of bad product launch planning, but did no one read it?

If they fix the slash thing and the display limiter, I think I'll be OK.

No one reads the FAQ, just like no one reads the help documentation. It's an eternal frustration of mine.

I can only hope some of them are at least sending in bug reports and level-headed complaints.

I despised every moment of the gawker redesign (let me not call it an upgrade again), and Nick Denton is a pompous airtime-grabbing ass, but it was made clear that the team was made up of a lot of people, they didn't walk in lockstep, and they did actually respond to bug reports, and stuff (SLOWLY) got fixed. I did this because I didn't see a viable alternative for IO9.

I feel the same way about Delicious. If I had woken up and they'd just added what I can see new, I'd have been *delighted*. And I told them that, in conjunction with the shit that's not on their list that should be working and doesn't seem to.
