Yahoo is shutting down Delicious.com

[bookshop]

Yahoo's PR department has all but confirmed.

You can export all your existing bookmarks to html here. After that, ........well.

Diigo lets you import links from delicious and it's free; however its search and tagging functionality are limited, and apparently it "doesn't play nice" with dreamwidth links? eta: not sure what "doesn't play nice"

I just started an account within the past year! Damn it! At least...I don't have that many bookmarks? Argh!

WHAT. IS THIS FOR REAL.

Yeah, as far as I know, you can only bookmark AO3 links on AO3.

I AM VERY SAD RIGHT NOW.

[anatsuno]

not true. You can bookmark external links too!

[jibrailis]

oh! I did not know that. I stand corrected then. :D

[suaine]

What will we do? AND OMG THOSE FUCKS. Fuck. Argh.

I AM QUITE UPSET.

[badblood]

Yeah, I am literally devastated. I have no idea what I'm going to do about bookmarking anything now :(

People can find the links in this post useful, too: http://txvoodoo.livejournal.com/1400760.html

repeating here what I said on Dth, just in case (for your readers more than you, obv. *g*), because more redundancy is better than the info not passing far enough:

AO3 allows one to bookmark anywhere, anything. I'm also setting up at Pinboard (because yes, hopping earlier is cheaper) because I WANT secret tags and I WANT the Instapaper and Read it Later integration, and because I've always used my delicious as a personal tool rather than a social one.

Personally, I'm already using Diigo as a fandom bookmarking service. I have never noticed it not playing nice with Dth links so far.
