They're killing del.icio.us? But what of the porn? The painstakingly organized-by-descriptive-tag porn? Why, Yahoo, why?

www.diigo.com - it seems to be the best, closest option, and you can import your Delicious bookmarks :)

Thank FUCK we can import. That would be a pain in the ass to recreate by hand.

I gather this has been the big discussion of the day - I just found out about it! Just now checking out the alternatives.

I don't use it, but it still SUCKS that they're doing that. :/

The PORN. THINK OF THE PORN. What if I desperately need to be able to find a Sam/Dean zookeeper in space AU with watersports, character death, and outside POV - how would I do that without my neurotic system of delicious tags?

AHAHAHAHAHAHA. Yeah, that'd be a nightmare.

Well um... to be fair, there hasn't been any official statement from Yahoo itself on the subject. Backup plans are always an excellent idea, but so far there's nothing decisive out there saying the site will be shutting down -- just a screencap from some kind of internal meeting (that admittedly DOES read that way, but I'm going to cling to the sense of ambiguity anyway).

So I'm going to back up my links and continue to hold out hope. *crosses fingers*

I know! ::shakes fist at yahoo:: I didn't have as many recs as some - about 70. But I handwrote all my own blurbs, god damn it..
