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!

I have to admit I never used delicious to the full extent of its capabilities, although I have it as a Firefox add-on and as an app on my iPhone.

I'm not too panicked about it. If Yahoo isn't interested in it anymore, someone else will cherry-pick the best parts of the service and come up with something better.

Yeah, basically the whole discussion on this page should be distilled to: "Amy needs to chill out and be patient." :)~ I would be excited if someone picked up the service and made it all spiffy!

The tech development world is a very strange place. On the one hand, it's all happy-happy-love-love, where all the Netscape guys fall off the ship but get right back on again with Firefox. On the other hand, everyone and their father has a hate-on for the allegedly open-source folks at Adobe, and that's why Flash is dead in the water.

Who knows what will happen with delicious? The only guarantee right now is that it will come back in some other form and be more awesome than before...
