Rumors are that the Del.icio.us revamp is coming out very soon. Del.icio.us, by Yahoo, is now four years old, and one of the first social bookmarking sites I remember using.

It is based on bookmark sharing. If you find a site you like, you ‘tag’ it – add it to your del.icio.us account, and connect it with certain keywords you think are relevant to your bookmark. Your bookmarks then go public, and that way the del.icio.us site aggregates every bookmark and sorts it according to its current popularity.

I used del.icio.us for a long time to improve my web productivity, because I can use my bookmarks anywhere with this handy Firefox add-on.

The delicious team is working hard on improving tagging and bookmarking. They are also implementing a new search engine (speaking of that – del.icio.us could be a search engine on is own)! The beta preview is sadly invite-only.

In my opinion, Delicious.com (new domain there, nice) is going to become even better. It’s a fast, small and simple site, which has all the power of Digg, or Reddit, in a much more practical way (you can even use it with an iPhone).
