Not So Delicious First Impressions

I do not a very good first impression of Delicious:

Sorry, there is a temporary problem. Adding a new bookmark failed.

Please use your browser's Back button and try again. If this problem persists please contact support.

Hmm... isn't adding a bookmark the main feature of the service? Delicious has now broken over a dozen times in the first 10 minutes of use.

I would think adding bookmarks would be rock solid.

Ironically, many of the support pages fail to load properly because Delicious has mixed secure content with non-secure content causing warning messages to pop-up on a regular basis.

Delicious

Like Twitter, I have been hearing about Delicious for awhile now so I finally signed-up. I'm really glad they changed the main URL from http://del.icio.us/ to http://delicious.com/, the former was a challenge to remember (and type).
