Where's the best place to migrate all of your Del.icio.us bookmarks?
- karthikv 16y agoI imported mine to Evernote a while back. They have an import from delicious tool.
- cjdavis 16y agoJust went looking for this and couldn't find anything. Pointers?
- GBond 16y agohttp://joshgrenon.com/2010/02/14/the-simple-way-to-import-delicious-bookmarks-into-evernote/ http://joshgrenon.com/2010/02/14/the-simple-way-to-import-de... Note: imports all to one note so not the ideal.
- sabat 16y agoThey discontinued the delicious import tool for some reason -- some technical reason from what I understand. However, if you apply for an API key, there are scripts out there that can parse the delicious export and import into Evernote, including tags. Google for 'delicious export evernote script'.

- St-Clock 16y agoIs this still under development? The last blog post was in March 2010 and the website still says "beta".
- telemachos 16y agoI switched to Pinboard (http://pinboard.in http://pinboard.in) in April and I highly recommend it. It's not free, but it's well worth looking at. (The pricing is a one-time fee that climbs as the site grows. It's currently $6.89. There's also a service to archive your bookmarks, but I haven't tried that. That's $25 a year currently.) Here's their (probably about to be updated) "Should you switch from Delicious?" page: http://pinboard.in/switch/ http://pinboard.in/switch/
- mccutchen 16y agoSeconded. I've been a happy Pinboard user since the service launched. Haven't had any trouble.
- mrduncan 16y agoThis has to be great news for Pinboard - I'm not sure how much they raise the price with each purchase, but less than 30 minutes later and the current price is already $6.92. Edit: 7 minutes later it's now $6.94
- Groxx 16y agoIt's 1/10 of a cent. So $6.94 means there are 6,940 people using it. http://pinboard.in/help/fee/ http://pinboard.in/help/fee/ (normally in a "why?" popup when you would make a new account)
- 100k 16y agoIt's number of users * $0.001.
- zdw 16y agoIt goes up a penny every 10 users (see here: http://pinboard.in/help/fee/ http://pinboard.in/help/fee/) Right now it's 6.97, so at least 50 signups since the parent (~$350 in revenue in 20 minutes)
- miniatureape 16y agoI've been seeing service unavailable pages every few times I load pinboard. I wonder how their infrastructure will handle this unexpected surge.
- gaoshan 16y agoSince the "it's not free but..." angle has already been played I'll add to kqr2's question... Where are the best free places to migrate all of your Delicious bookmarks? ------EDIT--- OK, at a minimum you can go here: https://secure.delicious.com/settings/bookmarks/export https://secure.delicious.com/settings/bookmarks/export and download your entire collection (importantly... with tags). This will at least preserve your content and, since I think many of us on HN are of the technical sort, permit you to scrape the data at your leisure. You get a massive (well, in my case) definition list of elements with the following included as attributes on the item's anchor tag: the url, the add date (ADD_DATE=) the private status of the link (PRIVATE=) and the tags (TAGS=). You also get a text description. Very nice!
- StavrosK 16y agohttp://historio.us/ http://historio.us/ is free (if you have fewer than 300 bookmarks). I don't think you'll find a totally free solution, as that's basically why delicious is closing :(
- patrickaljord 16y agoJust use chrome or firefox with the syncing feature.
- angrycoder 16y agoChrome has free bookmark syncing built in. There's also the Xmarks plugin if you don't want to be tied to a specific browser.
- scg 16y agoWeren't Xmarks shutting down too?
- sovok 16y agoThey have been acquired by LastPass: http://blog.xmarks.com/?p=2033 http://blog.xmarks.com/?p=2033
- alexqgb 16y agoI'm VERY happy with Xmarks - esp. the cross-browser synching (i.e. all bookmarks are both local and in the cloud, and available in any browser). I was also happy to pay for the service following the LastPass acquisition. It works for me because I don't tag. Instead, I have a stable set of folders into which bookmarks get sorted. At this point, if something doesn't fit one of these categories, it's probably not relevant to me.
- cloudwalking 16y agoYou can also use something like Shorty (http://get-shorty.com http://get-shorty.com) to store your bookmarks on your own server. That being said, I also really like Pinboard :)
- GrooveStomp 16y agoI just found www.diigo.com which I'm trying out.
- whyleym 16y agoYou could try http://www.favilous.com http://www.favilous.com - I know the founders and they are in the process of building an importer for Delicious bookmarks. They originally launched back in January on HN - http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1060022 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1060022.
- StavrosK 16y agoIf you're looking for a somewhat different paradigm, try http://historio.us/ http://historio.us/. It's a search engine for bookmarks, so you can search in the entire content of the page instead of browse the titles.
