I even think they should advertise it a bit more and show more casual Internet users how they could benefit from it. Maybe even integration into the email service? netster007x wrote:

I think that would be like them doing flickr.yahoo.com – that just isn’t very catchy.

That’s true, but they already own that domain so they could just redirect delicious.com to del.icio.us.

Actually it does make quite a bit of a difference. They need something catchy so that people can remember it.

This is great news because all that dot intermixing was giving me carpal tunnel. I do think they should own the Delicious domain if they are going to do this, though, and have it redirect.

The screenshots look good enough for me. And what is the use of making a preview page available if we cant customise it.

As most people are still on IE and don't have browse by name (Google do offer this in their toolbar) that's how they find a site, stick .com on the end. What I don't get is that at the moment delicious.com redirects to del.iciou.us, and to be honest I do reckon that split up name adds something (not to mention that it's been copied many times now).
