Delicious Library 2.0

When Delicious Library came out in 2005, I was working at the Apple Store in Burlingame. I loved it. It has one of the best, most enjoyable user interfaces I've ever used. For those that don't know, Delicious Library is a cataloging software that allows you to keep track of your collection of books, DVDs, and games.

The second version of this software came out earlier this year, and it's freakin' awesome. You can now have a lot of different types of items in your collection. It has a new feature that lets you publish your collection to the internet. On top of that, it creates iPhone-compatible websites.



My only complaint is that it's Leopard only, and I'm still running Tiger on my three year old Macbook Pro. Overall, I think it's still an awesome program.
