delicious ---> Pinboard

[gabrielleabelle]

So, I got a Pinboard account for my fanfic (not fanfic I write, but fanfic I have read or want to read). The username "gabrielleabelle" was strangely taken, and I'm trying to remember if I signed up way back when the news about Yahoo selling delicious first broke. In any case, that account's showing as disabled, so I just opted for the more

From what I've heard all those features you mentioned are in the works of becoming updated. I know bundles and the bulk editing is a top priority, and I'm pretty I've seen mentions of the other features being worked on too. I recently switched to Pinboard, and the owner has been really welcoming to the fandom community, asking about suggestions (there was a pretty massive google doc with things and now there's been a poll and everything) so I'm personally feeling positive.

[gabrielleabelle]

Me too! I'm kinda thrilled that the owner's actively trying to accommodate fandom. It's a nice change. :)

Have you heard of the poll for Pinboard features fandom would like to see prioritised? The Pinboard guy asked people what they wanted; there was a marvellous brainstorming document; and finally a poll, which will be up until October 7th. You should vote!

[gabrielleabelle]

Oooh! I hadn't! Will give that all a read-through (and take the poll). Looks like most of what I want has already been mentioned by others. :)

[concinnity]

Yay! I added you to my network. Puh-leeze go take the poll if you haven't yet - the Pinboard guy seems really committed to fandom's wants.

(Uh. I actually shed a tear when I logged into the new delicious. I may have spent 6+ hours ferociously following the twitter shakedown, and a few hours on the doc. *over-invested?*)

[gabrielleabelle]

I took it! I'm eager to see what changes get rolled out. :)

(Seriously, I was at Andrew's place and logged into my delicious to nab some more fics off my to-read list to send to my Kindle and I had a huge screaming fit when I saw the page. Andrew was...amused. I spent the rest of that day and the next keeping up on Facebook and various LJs. This...this was brutal)

I can't even describe my face when I saw the new Delicious *sighs* I'm pretty sure I spent at least 40 hours staring at that doc/chatting with users in the doc chat during the three days in which it was open. You're not alone! *grins*

Hey, this is kinda random but I saw this article the other day in the Sydney Morning Herald (big paper in Australia) and it make me expell some expletives at how wrong this guy's understanding of feminism was. Aaargh. Thought you might be interested.

This pinboard thing you're talking about sounds pretty interesting too :)

Huh. He has a glimmer of a point, but from the wrong direction, and his ultimate conclusion is stupid.
