The time for sites like Delicious has passed thanks to the fact that sites like Facebook and Twitter have integrated link sharing, while browsers like Firefox and Chrome have integrated bookmark synchronization.
If you think about it, that's what Delicious did - bookmark synchronization and sharing. It did them damn well in its time, but that time has passed now - that functionality is integrated into other tools, and there's no demand for a standalone service that just does bookmark sharing/sync.
- ojilles 16y agoFor me Delicious was all about finding my bookmarks back. Both FB/Twitter as well as the browsers make this very very hard. Ever tried finding a link back that you tweeted a year ago?
- quanticle 15y agoYour use case falls into the bookmark synchronization category. Firefox Sync and Google Bookmarks Sync can synchronize bookmarks across machines.
- ojilles 15y agoNo it doesn't. We're talking a few thousand bookmarks here -- I need search, not synch. (I use synch too, but for a much smaller subset (<20) bookmarks across many devices.)
