I second this! Please someone buy back Delicious, or make a new one:

+ Delicious is lagging behind in mobile support.

+ Delicious could be taking more advantage of the conversation that people are having in their Notes section.

+ Delicious could be taking advantage of the links that are shared between users: help me find users that have similar but unique interests as I do. This would be true social networking on Delicious!

+ Delicious places priority on what is "Hot". This is not terribly useful since a lot of "Hot" links have already made the rounds on Twitter or in my Google Reader first.

+ Delicious could be taking advantage of links that are not yet popular but have a strong interest in category niches.

+ Delicious could be taking advantage of a user's top 10 tags: it's not an accurate assessment of a user's interest, but it gives me a quick assessment if I want to subscribe to their feed.

(I wish I could make another Delicious, but I'm not a programmer!)

I actually did at least several of these. But they forgot how those parts worked and rewrote them poorly.
