Apparently Yahoo is shutting down Delicious

I never understood the appeal of ill-thought-out 140-character rants, but today I came extremely close to tweeting something along the general lines of FUCK THE CLOUD. FUCK THE CLOUD IN ITS ASS.

I mean, forget my bookmarks. I can export my bookmarks. But I use that shit to SURF FIC, DUDE.

I have an account at diigo. Diigo is about about being able to mark up stuff on the web and takes notes on it, and then MAYBE, if you feel like it, sharing your mark ups and notes with others. It's not really about publicly organizing other people's content for the benefit of other other people. THAT'S WHAT DELICIOUS IS FOR.
