Yeah, that's what the blog post said.
> Delicious has over a billion bookmarks and is a fascinating piece of web history. […] I bought it in part so it wouldn’t disappear from the web.
- tra3 9y agoI'm still confused as to why it's valuable.
- eridius 9y agoProbably for the same reason that the Internet Archive decided to thoroughly archive all of GeoCities when that closed. People tend to like preserving what they view as being important history. Also, not wanting a billion bookmarks to vanish is a good reason. Plus I'm sure he can convert a bunch of former Delicious users over to Pinboard simply by operating the service.
- tedmiston 9y agoIt sounds like from the post he's not thinking about it in monetary value.
- jonknee 9y agoConsidering it was sold for $35k the value is not high in monetary terms, but there are other kinds of value.
