Delicious is shutting down
« on: Thursday, December 16, 2010, 04:32:04 PM »
Bummer

I didn't have very many bookmarks on there, so I'm not really put out any. But what I used it for was a place to dump download links so when I was at a library/bookstore I could just go there and have a list of things I wanted to download. With the Shareaholic addon for Firefox it was also super easy for me to add links to the list.

So now I have to come up with some alternative. Grumble...

If you used it, might be a good idea to export your links.

Never did use it.  Seemed neat, though.

I always saw the little "del.icio.us" links on blog sites, but I never really bothered to find out what it was about.

I liked the idea but never ended up using it. I'm surprised they killed it this fast.

I had a similar idea back when I was in college, guess with delicious dead now I can bring back that project and use it for myself. :)

I wish Digg would shut down.  That place has turned into a spaming trollfest.

I moved to Reddit after everything went down. I'm glad I did.

I check out Hacker News from time to time, but overall I'm moved to Twitter as a source of news.

And speaking of things that should shutdown: Foursquare.

I concur about Foursquare....and will add Twitter.


I should check out Reddit, becuause Digg seriously is shit now. I don't even think the changes ruined it; the people being babies about the changes did.
