Del.icio.us was sold to AVOS systems. It changed hand a couple of more times and now owned by an entity called 'Delicious Media'. In its current state, it is almost non-functional. The bookmarklet for tagging links does not work, API and RSS feed are deprecated. I knew it was time to get out when I found the data export function to be broken. I wrote a scraper[1] to get my data out and export to some other service.

- dv_dt 9y agoDo any bookmarklets for tagging links work anywhere? It seems like most services simple javascript bookmarklets were shut out by increasing security? At least I know the bookmarklet that I used for pinboard became nonfunctional in Firefox then Chrome for example.
- ghaff 9y agoI still use pinboard. Still works fine for me modulo bitrot.
- dv_dt 9y agoI absolutely still use pinboard, just not it's bookmarklet.
- Deimorz 9y agoThe pinboard bookmarklet seems to work for me in Firefox on almost every site except Github (where the CSP blocks it).
- dv_dt 9y agoWell huh, so it does. Some maybe it was just a temporary gap that I fell into..

- bigbugbag 9y agoThe demise of del.icio.us was expected the instant they sold out, but the good news is that the service was useful so it gave rise to shaarli[1]. [1]: https://github.com/shaarli/Shaarli https://github.com/shaarli/Shaarli
