So, Delicious.com has given itself a facelift of sorts. Its new front page is called “Fresh Bookmarks” but it is founded on tweets from Twitter.com instead of what people are bookmarking. So, in essence, the site has become a member of my “instant-context” form of navigating the web. You see, in my new theory, the web is no longer bound by the rule of time, instead it relies on the instantaneous transfer of relevant information from one person and place to another. So, as with Twitter, everything is only live for a given amount of time and then archived. I think for twitter it is only 8 hours. So, Delicious’ new BOSS integration does what BrowseRight was going to do, and that was to keep the search context relevant to the current trend. Advertising would follow that same trend. It was an interesting project, but I lack the funds or programming skill to bring it to fruition.
