Hi all,
We've seen the news that Yahoo is pulling the plug on Delicious, and we're currently investigating alternatives. The two mentioned most frequently are Pinboard and Diigo. If anyone has experience with Delicious alternatives, let us know!

I am really surprised that none of the major alternatives I've seen so far have anything like tag bundling. :/

Yeah, I've been surprised by that, too. I haven't yet waded through the big list of social bookmarking sites (and won't be able to until after Christmas), but I've got to believe there's something in there that lets you handle thousands of tags?

Currently, the social aspects of the delicious account don't get used that much, unless people are getting to the 50books_poc account via their delicious network (which is something that I'd never see). We get very few "for:50books_poc" links, for example. And if there are other social features that we should have been using, I don't know what they are.
Not having compact and list views might be the dealbreaker for pinboard. And, of course, there are no bundles, and at ~1500 tags (currently, and expected to grow hugely in this next year), we need something with some real tag-wrangling / tag-organizing / tag-browsing tools.

We'll still have everything backed up and such (all our delicious data is sitting in a file on my desktop right now), but if we don't HAVE to move, I'd very much rather not move.
