Ugh

It looks like delicious is getting shut down. :-( Export your bookmarks sooner rather than later!

eek! I am always so out of the loop on these things--just when I'd grown to love delicious, too...Is there an easy way to export one's bookmarks (to...? one's hard drive?)
thanks for the headsup!

If you go to "settings" on your page there's an option to export your bookmarks to an htm page.

Yeah, I'm unbelievably sad about this. Delicious is how I find most of the fics I read, and I have an embarrassing amount saved...

I hear you! I guess that many people are switching to http://www.diigo.com/ I'm not sure whether I'll be signing up with them or not. I was so proud of myself for figuring delicious out, lol.

Goddamnit. Does this mean I have to go back to saving porn on my harddrive? What is this, the 00s? ;)

[twasadark.livejournal.com]

Haha! I know, right??

But... but WHY???

I personally don't have one, but I creep everyone else a lot (don't judge me), and it just make it 10 times easier to find everything when it's all neatly organized like that :(

Stupid internet *kicks*

I hear you - I like finding fics that way, too. Dang yahoo wants to make a profit or something - how dare they!

I just created a Diigo account, just in case. It supposedly allows you to import your delicious bookmarks so we'll see how that goes!

Stupid Yahoo! *kicks it*

Good luck - I haven't decided yet whether I want to bother. I haven't been reading much fic these days. Still ... I could be missing out on so much! Argh!

[twasadark.livejournal.com]

It is!

Oh lordy! And I've been adding so many links lately of stuff I might want to read at some point in the future, and all the WIPs that I don't want to read until they are completed.

Now I have got to go and copy & paste it all in Word! Pah!

[twasadark.livejournal.com]

It is definitely a pain, isn't it? You can export your entries into an htm file, which is helpful, because you can then import them into another service like http://www.diigo.com/. But that means getting used to another service ... bummer!

[ladylupinmalfoy.livejournal.com]

I'll have a look at diigo, thanks. I did start copying them, but I just can't be arsed tonight! lol

[pat-san.livejournal.com]

Then good I never got to use it XD

[vamp-ress.livejournal.com]

I've read that too. It's awful. I've grown really attached to my Delicious account and I know for a fact that other fans are using it to find stuff to read. So, to move everything (again - it's not like I started out on Delicious) is a real bother
*hates*.

And I must second some of the comments I read so far: After (almost silently) shutting down Geocities, this is another big blow to something that is widely used.

Whatt?! First Xmarks, and now delicious? WHYYY!?
