Delicious

[michelel72]

So, I'm not on Twitter or Facebook; I don't watch live TV or most news shows; I don't visit most news sites. I watched DVR shows last night instead of rechecking my LJ flist. So I only found out about Yahoo! planning to shut down Delicious about an hour ago. After a goodly long panic, though, I found that Delicious is going to try to keep the site up.

Maybe it won't work, but I'm crossing my fingers. Because I'm not a hardcore user, but I have a few thousand bookmarks there, and their tagging system is exactly what I want, and I've been putting together a huge project since about May and that project is only about halfway done.

Don't leave me, Delicious!

Hope it does stay alive! I never quite managed to get going with my own account, but use it fairly regularly to re-find lost stories (and use your account and a few others whose tagging systems I like to look up stories with particular themes -- mmm, sleepdeprived!Rodney). And now of course I'm very curious about this huge project of which you speak, is it fannish or RL? :)

I was superbummed when I found out about it as well. I need my delicious! It's possible to back up your bookmarks in settings. Supposedly with tags and tall, although I'm not sure if that's actually true.

I'd been wondering what the deal was with your tags (I've been peeking since you can still be counted on to bookmark fresh SGA meat :)
