Noooo! I love delicious and am using it daily, it's one of the reasons I don't completely switch to Chrome (since the plugin is not as good as the Firefox one).

Noooo! I love delicious and am using it daily, it's one of the reasons I don't completely switch to Chrome (since the plugin is not as good as the Firefox one). OK, time to dire off the API and suck off all the bookmarks. Where should I put all my bookmarks? What other bookmark service has a nice browser plugin, APIs, etc? After this I'm also convinced that Yahoo is hopeless.

I haven't tried it yet, but people say good things about http://historio.us/ http://historio.us/ The founder is on HN: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1605908 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1605908

  I upgraded to a paid Historious account a couple of days ago and I just imported all of my 4000+ bookmarks from Delicious. What drew me to historio.us was the caching: I love the fact that all my bookmarks are cached.(1) Lately I've been trying to cut down on the information I consume so the lack of 'social' features doesn't really bother me -- right now I'm more interested in retaining the stuff that I've already bookmarked than in finding new stuff to read. (1) It looks like pinboard.in has the same function for about the same yearly price.

    We do have the same feature, but unlike historious we actually store the bookmark content. See http://pinboard.in/blog/153/ http://pinboard.in/blog/153/

      At historious, this is a core feature (you don't have to pay to get it). Even for the free accounts, every single bookmark will be cached with the optional ability to be published for your reference (the URL never changes, so you can give it to people).

  By the way, use this referral link (or any of your friends') to get 100 extra bookmarks: http://historio.us/referrals/NTEyICAgICAg/ http://historio.us/referrals/NTEyICAgICAg/ You can do it yourself, in turn, to raise the limit up to 2000.

    Cool, thanks!

This might be bad timing, but I finally discovered a Chrome extension that's basically there- Chromicious (https://chrome.google.com/extensions/detail/animchmhhndbcfahoigdpelodbhnhepg https://chrome.google.com/extensions/detail/animchmhhndbcfah...) I absolutely _need_ a viable delicious alternative, too. xMarks looks like the closest bet, but their UI isn't intuitive and it's coated in ugly.

  Arg, going over the alternatives in this thread and on the web, I fear the actual loss of delicious is its useful dataset. With so many competing products vying to take its place, it will probably be a while before a de facto bookmarking service comes along and gathers a userbase large enough to be useful and years beyond that for that userbase to build the data to a point that approaches what we had with delicious. Maybe some sort of anonymized delicious data export would be possible?

  Depending on what you use in delicious, pinboard.in may be a good replacement. It has all the things from delicious I used, none of the things I didn't, and a few other cool features (like saving notes directly, rather my my system of saving pastebins).

http://pinboard.in http://pinboard.in aims to be a Delicious replacement and has an interesting payment model.

  I've had a del.icio.us account since the beginning in 2003 and migrated to Pinboard last year. It's a worthy replacement and everything Delicious should have been, with something approximating the UX from the older service. And Maciej and pvg are very responsive on Twitter.

    I'll second that. I've been super happy with pinboard. They personally helped me track down some technical problems I had importing my delicious, and haven't looked back.

      Hey, thanks! I'm really glad you like the service.

  The payment model is @joshu's idea

  I've been using pinboard for about 9 months and I promote it every chance I get. Love this service.

  Another vote for Pinboard. Been using it for some months now and I love the minimalism. I've had one occasion to contact support and my issue was very promptly addressed. Highly recommended. @idlewords: just make sure you're ready for the possible flood of new users. :)

Mr Wong is similar to delicious and once allowed you to import delicious exports. It has grown "bigger" since I last visited the site (a couple of years ago) though and I don't know if it is any good in its present state.
