Del.icio.us Redesigns And Gets Contextual Ads
Del.icio.us has redesigned yet again, now including screenshots (CommonGate Style?), hot stuff, and more focus on the number of people that have bookmarked the hot sites (Digg Fever?).
After years of going ad-free, del.icio.us has quietly started to integrate contextual search ads from Yahoo Search Marketing. For now, ads only show up when users search the entire index of bookmarks.
Instituting ads on a service that is visited by hardcore techies can be dicey. So far, Yahoo seems to be wisely playing it conservatively to see how they fare. Digg has managed this transition nicely so there's no reason del.icio.us can't either.
