Who remembers delicious? That was a good social bookmarking site. I wonder if anything similar exists now?

There is still something of it remaining: https://del.icio.us/help https://del.icio.us/help > This site is a ghost, haunting the internet. It is a read-only archive of the bookmarking website del.icio.us.... This project is a labor of love (or more accurately, a labor of like). Del.icio.us was founded by my friends in 2003, sold a whole bunch of times, and when it was about to get sold again to spammers in 2017, I took the opportunity to buy it back.

    I wish I did. It looks like we will have to be patient.

      Can you elaborate more ? Is there a archive that exist but link is missing or the new owner will bring the site back.

That was what came to mind for me when I read the linked article. For those unfamiliar: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delicious_(website) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delicious_(website) Publicly shared bookmarks was a great way to discover new sites, and I feel like delicious died because it was acquired, not because it was a bad or unpopular idea.

  Looping this back to some of the linked essay, I've always wondered if there's a way to make a social bookmarking system that's more decentralized or federated, through a browser plugin or something? Maybe something that's hosted on multiple hosting websites?

  Yup, and comes with an API (originally cloned from del.icio.us IIRC), so you can back up your data or use in other ways. I'm always archiving updates on mine, since he does joke from time to time about getting hit by a bus.

I agree, it was my favorite site on the web before it was acquired.
