Season 3, Episode #19 of “Who gives a crap?” - the one where the guy moves bookmarks around

I’d installed a copy of Scuttle a couple of years ago, and have been happily saving bookmarks on my own server since then. But I got frustrated when stuff didn’t play as nicely with my stuff, when compared to delicious.com or diigo.com or the like. IFTTT scripts. Importers. Evernote import-bookmarks-into-a-note stuff. etc…

It looks like Yahoo! is going to kill/merge/mangle/whatever the delicious.com bookmarking service. Hysteria! Madness!

I’ve used Delicious for over 6 years. I’ve got 3,298 bookmarks stored there, with 16,669 tags. There’s a handy dandy XML exporter that let me grab them all in one file.

Then what? I could import easily to another third party service. But it’s likely that people will migrate to different services, so the network effects from Delicious are already evaporating. And any third party service will eventually die anyway.
