Alternative to Delicious: Diigo

[rheasilvia]

Since Delicious will not be with us for much longer, I've been checking out alternatives. So far, Diigo seems like the best candidate to me

Yes, hours - just be patient. :-) I left it to import overnight...

Ah, thanks. I set it to import last night, and it still hasn't loaded. So I was wondering if something went wrong. but I guess the site is probably pretty jammed up right now.

Yes, all the delicious refugees must be overloading the servers something awful! It'll probably be quite a while before thing settle down again there... but but even if it takes a long time, there shouldn't be cause to worry.

Oh, thanks for the heads-up. Will do same when home again.

Diigo does look fairly okay... and if not, there'll be some other alternative. It's a hassle, but it's not a catastrophe. :-)

Oh, argh! Thanks for the tip, esp. since nobody else on my flist mentioned it! I repeat, ARGH! A petty annoyance, but still an annoyance.

Is it difficult to rip out the Delicious buttons once we've found something else and moved our bookmarks?

[rheasilvia]

My flist has been gnashing its collective teeth and wailing all day - your friends seem to be more stoic than mine. ;-) And yes, it is definitely an annoyance...

Removing the Delicious buttons is not a problem at all - just uninstall the Delicious toolbar add-on, and like magic, it all disappears. :-)
