Britta accurately represents how I feel about the new Delicious
Delicious is broken and it's FREAKING ME OUT. Most of my tags are gone. Tag bundles, for which I spent a few hours sorting out last week, are ALL gone. You can't use the slash tag, and we're a slash fandom. I understand the problem with the majority of users not having signed up to the new Delicious, which is why all their bookmarks have disappeared, but that doesn't mean it still sucks that a page that used to have 100 bookmarks now only has two or three.
I've just got my fingers crossed that this is all temporary, and that all that missing data is there somewhere and will come out in the next few weeks when they get full functionality back. Or that they just revert out of beta to the old version, which WORKED. (I know that the old delicious was build on old code and it might be good to rewrite from scratch with fresh code, but really? In the time it takes for them to do that the userbase will have left.)
Luckily I imported all my bookmarks to Diigo when the initial panic started about Delicious being dropped. I've never actually used the site but I'm glad I can head over there if Delicious doesn't improve. I'm just sad that fandom's going to be decentralised, and I won't get any of the bookmarks from PinBoard, which sounds much better than Diigo but costs money which I can't pay. Although, Diigo does have some useful features I'm keen to try out, especially in related to school or research things, like the highlight and post-it note functions. Heey, upside? No, not really. I want Delicious back. :(
The only redeeming thing about last night after this new soul-crushing Delicious was the MCR boys. And their geeky COSTUMES ON STAGE for their last night of the Honda CIvic Tour. It probably would have bewildered Blink182 fans too, which I am 100% in support of.
Chucky from Child's Play, apparently.
I agree with the collective fandom assumption that he was dressed as Joan of Arc. Because of course would.
Taken from here, where there are more pictures. BOYS :D
I also am very irritated at the fact that you can't edit LJ posts without it screwing up where you put the cut tags. UGH, TECHNOLOGY >: ( .....Yet I must. Fix. Typos.
