    *facepalm* They can't actually have said that. *goes to look at the trainwreck*
  •  
    train wreck indeed.
  •  
    Wow, just wow.
  •  
    "The new Delicious retains a lot of visual elements from the old site, but it tweaks the core user activity to be about creating "stacks" of content." No it doesn't, it looks almost nothing like the old Delicious. Besides, who cares what it looks like if it functions poorly?

A New Flavor…Still Delicious | AVOS - 17 views

    "Back to Beta: ...Much more work will be needed..." <--- No kidding.
  • ...2 more comments...

    But why? Whhhhy? Why build "functionality" that makes it harder to search your own site? :( I'm still hoping that I've missed some cunningly hidden link that will allow me to search my subscription feed without having to recreate it.
  •  
    Well I appreciate that they're keeping the site open and that they want to improve things. I just wish they didn't think that meant they need to take away features we all love to make those "improvements". I'm glad I've backed all my bookmarks up to Diigo and Licorize just in case the "new flavor" causes Delicious to explode in a fireball that can be seen from space.
  •  
    *clicks over to Delicious* ... Holy mother of... I'm really glad I exported my bookmarks the day before the switch was finalized - the handful I've cautiously bookmarked since then can be recreated easily enough - since I'm not sure *what* it would export now. Wow. Just... wow. Not good. I really, really wish that Diigo imported the complete contents of my comment fields. As it is, I'm going to have to try bouncing between Pinboard (4,356 bookmarks with complete descriptions) and Diigo (network). This is not happy making.
  •  
    Ugh, so they took a great functioning site and decided to build it from the ground-up, meanwhile taking away all the features that made it stand out from its competitors and went from a no-nonsense layout to a cutesy pale immitation of diigo? Where is my network, my tag bundles, a good search function, etc etc!!!

FANDOM 'Goddamnit [floating the idea of a fan bookmarking service]' by dreamyshade - 6 views

  •  
    Interesting call for discussion on how to create a fannish bookmarking service, perhaps something which links existing services like AO3 and DW, plus Pinboard, Diigo etc.

delicious beta status - 12 views

  •  
    Delicious have updated their blog; there are a lot of bugs fixed already. I just looked for /tag/jared/jensen and got back what looks like a useable list of fic to read (although there's still some info missing -- like who bookmarked each link).
  •  
    I'm one of those who were outraged of the changes on delicious. Now that I've calmed down and exported my links, I am more open to give them the benefit of the doubt and I will be awaiting if the situation in delicious will improve in the coming days or weeks. This update in beta status leaves me hope that it will.

MISC 'Social bookmarking sites' a Google Doc by many people - 11 views

    Has anyone tried Licorize?
  •  
    No, I haven't tried Licorize. I've tried Connotea and Zotero for uni, but ended up choosing Diigo, because it was more flexible. I'm thinking about giving the Google bookmarking a go. Is it any good?
  •  
    I've just signed up for it. It has a really cute interface and looks like it might have a lot of applications as well. However, I'm not sure about the fandom aspects of it...it's still uploading my bookmarks right now. I'll try to find out more. But I have a feeling that Diigo might be the site that everyone's eventually going to settle for (the money expense at Pinboard will probably be a detracting factor)
  •  
    Yeah, Diigo seems to be the frontrunner at the moment. It's already got a fair number of fannish users, and is handling the load okay so far too -- some of the other services are down altogther, or reporting very slowed service. I'm curious about Licorize now -- let us know what it's like. But I'm also considering Evernote and Google Bookmarks (I think this might be the easiest for a backup, even though it doesn't look so great for networking). I think I'll have a play over the next few days (too tired tonight).
  •  
    I'd prefer not to be dependent on Google, that seems like trouble around issues of pornography and copyright. Really, having a fandom-specific system would be so much safer.
  •  
    Yeah, I was thinking of using Google as a private backup, while looking for somethng better. But a fannish solution is the ideal one. If we have a service that lets us integrate OTW sites and DW with a social networking system, along with out existing libraries, it would be like fandom Nirvana. :)
  •  
    Google bookmarks is not a public, social, bookmarking tool. I use google bookmarks for things I don't care to share at all: research for stories, links for hacks, cracks, tutorials, stuff on my to-read pile. It is easy to use with bookmarklets, and a quick interface. You can export public lists, but they are static and do not update if new links are added with the exported label.
  •  
    Thanks for the update -- that was kind of the impression I had of Google bookmarks, but hadn't tried them out yet. I actually really like the combination of Diigo and Delicious -- they have complimentary strengths and I get a back-up with no extra effort. I think the only thing that would really tempt me to move to another setup (outside of one or both closing down or becoming unusable) would be a fannish sevice. For that, I'd rearrange everything.

    Kaigou is hosting a brainstorming post over on DW about what your dream bookmarking service would be like. This is not attached to an existing service (like the Pinboard googledoc is).

Fandom TAGS can cross time and virtual space! - 7 views

  • Fandom Tags! If we can all use the a few standard labels, we can find each other on other systems. I propose Fandom for pretty much everything fannish, then get more specific: LotRiPS, Star Trek TOS, The Last Airbender, Girl Genius, Merlin x HP crossovers, Wrestling, Bandom... . There's another facet, which is the kind of fanwork, so adding tags like fanfiction, fanart, fanvid, fan-music, fandom meta, even something like fan-larps...Adding a couple of tags to every fannish post or bookmark is a bit annoying, but it will be worth it!BTW I'm slightly obsessed with a tetris-clone called torus, and play it waaay too much. Sorry for so much radio silence. And now to bed.
