DELICIOUS POLL!

[apple_pathways]

So, Delicious is most likely going the way of the Dodo, and fandom is abuzz. WHAT ARE WE GONNA DO WITHOUT IT?

I know that, in the months to come, a preferred alternative to the service is going to emerge, and fandom will all migrate there, and peace shall be restored. In the meantime, I don't want to mess around getting used to a new service if it's not going to stick. So, I've created a poll to gauge an idea of which new service people are leaning towards.

For a discussion of you options, bookshop has a run-down of the current candidates here. Go and read the article, then come back here to vote! And if you know of anyone on your flist with an opinion, send them here to cast their vote: the more participants we have, the more valid the data!

For me, whichever one develops a toolbar/Firefox Add-on like the one I have for Delicious will end up being my favorite: it's just so convenient for bookmarking. But yeah, it seems Diigo and Pinboard are the two frontrunners, unless some other service steps up to fill the gap.

LE SIGH! Internet dramas, eh?

They both have bookmarklets you can add to your top bar! I've been using the Pinboard one all day and it's fine. I've not been able to get the Diigo one working yet, but I suspect that's because my account's stuck in the middle of importing.

Now it seems like Yahoo's going to sell instead of shutting down, but I'm still worried what'll happen if they can't sell it off. URGH. Probably I'll just keep backing up till there's some sort of definite decision :/

I LOVE INTERNET DRAMA, just...not when it affects me /o\

Well hooray for bookmarklets! Good, that's one concern dealt with. (I really do need to quit whining and actually go TRY SOME OF THESE SERVICES for myself!)

Yes, Yahoo, sell to Google! (I, for one, welcome the eventual domination of the world by our benevolent leaders...)

Or, really, anyone who will keep it running.

AGREED!
