I was interviewed for that book! Good stuff.

  Thank you for delicious. Funny note: I went to jail for 10 years. One of only about three sites (out of thousands I had accounts on) that I could log into when I was released was delicious. Sadly 99% of my bookmarks now pointed to dead wood.

    Do you remember the other ones?

      I'm guessing those sites probably ruined their reputation by selling out their users, refusing to listen to them and belittling their genuine concerns about UX and API access.

      Weirdly, one was Facebook. The reason for all the other failures was that almost every site had either changed their password requirements and reset everyone's passwords when I was locked up (and so far in the past for me that I had missed the boat and now was terminally locked out), or they had introduced some sort of multi-factor authentication, and again I had missed the boat on the change-over and re-authentication and could no longer get in. Frustratingly the worst ones were the biggest accounts, e.g. Google, because most of these companies were now boasting that they had rid themselves completely of human support and that if you could no longer access your account then you should simply create a new one. Years or decades of stored data be damned.
