I doubt we'll see it open sourced, or saved in any form by Yahoo. It's too much cost/effort for them, when that's the reason they're scrapping it in the first place.
What i'd like to see is people quickly rolling out tools that help us get our Delicious bookmarks into other sites easier. Eg into Google Bookmarks. That currently requires you to install the Google Toolbar and import them through that (ugh).
- pjriot 16y agoYou want a tool to do this job so you can avoid installing google toolbar? How much do you reckon thats worth to you?
- nmcfarl 16y agoI'd say a lot, because to do the import you have to swamp your firefox bookmarks structure with your delicious one, and then import those using the toolbar. Of course this looses all of the tags, and comments, which are pretty much the whole point of delicious. A system that actually gets all the data from delicious into google bookmarks seems to be worth while.
- kevko 16y agoI hacked together something a long time ago to do this with a bookmarklet. It'll import delicious bookmarks into Google while preserving tags. http://blog.lifeslip.com/articles/2006/10/25/bookmarklet-delicious-google-bookmarks http://blog.lifeslip.com/articles/2006/10/25/bookmarklet-del...
- nervechannel 16y agoThat worked perfectly! I am hardly able to express how grateful I am :-) It even worked more smoothly than the Google Toolbar's own importer, which complains about dupes (wrongly), and prefixes all the labels with "Tag:" for no good reason. Will blog this ASAP.
