'was'?

• petercooper 14y ago
  I can't speak for it now, but it certainly was at the time. "Was" does not necessarily mean there was a cessation, merely that said state was true at an earlier time. FWIW though, I was a huge fan at the time and it went majorly downhill after it was sold to Yahoo. I don't know how it is with the new owners, because I moved away.

  Replying here, because for some reason can't reply to your child comment. I still use Delicious for all my book-marking. For a time, it looked like it would get killed off, but that didn't happen. I'd be interested to know what anyone else uses, but Delicious.com still works fine for me.

    I recently moved to diigo after staying with delicious for about 6 years and being disappointed by the lack of "vision" in the future of the product. Diigo feels like what delicious would have been if yahoo didn't stop improving it, it is fast, simple to use and the browser extension for firefox is okay (which is more than I can say about the delicious one). Had diigo been unsatisfying for me, I would have likely moved to pinboard which is I think quite popular in the HN crowd.

    I guess I was a 'power' Delicious user with several thousand links and.. I switched to a giant text file synced over Dropbox between all my machines and a Ruby script to manage and search it. All I lose are the social features, which I never used anyway (although I remember when del.icio.us/popular was my go-to site for links in the way HN and Reddit are now).
