Oh, at first it was confusing. Just the idea of computers was like — whoa! I'm eleven hundred years old! I had trouble adjusting to the idea of Lutherans.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Does xmarks host bookmarks, or synch bookmarks?

I'm trying to import my delicious into diigo, but I don't know what's happening. It's been almost an hour and nothing's there. They may be flooded.

I'm with Sophia. Saving my own bookmarks is one thing, but delicious is how I do all my fic reading anymore.

I'm not sure what you mean by host, but it syncs them across computers and you can view them on the web/mobile devices, etc.

That's what I meant. I don't have any interest in syncing. I just want to be able to have them stored elsewhere and look at them. Does it let you tag?

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

yes, absolutely.

btw, there is another option. If you all like delicious (I don't use it, so please forgive my nattering) for research or to tag webpages, etc., you might want to look into evernote.

It is multi-platform, mobile, web and you can tag, put into various notebooks, email to it, etc.

It is free, but there is a premium version if you want to email big attachments, etc.

I love evernote.

it has various browser extensions.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

The thing is to wait and see what fandom will pick up on.

Has there been any announcement as to when they'll be closing down the Delicious site? How long do we have to just hang around and wait to see what everyone else decides to do?

I just need someplace to list my bookmarks, my little notes to go with them that will remind me what the story is about, and then tag them. I do love the ability to tag, so I can sort the stories according to my mood or by what I can remember at the moment.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

No announcement yet. I hope they treat you all better than drop.io treated its users. They gave them 60 days, but ceased customer service well before then.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

Yes! Me! Except I guess I just got it last night. What is the solution?

Jesse, I'm sorry, I went to bed shortly after posting. I'm no techie, but I know it involves deleting add-ons like the Yahoo toolbar. But, I don't know where they are located.

I have a Mac and am PC-ignorant! I was hoping someone here would know the solution.

My sister just got fucked by drop.io. She sent out an email this morning with a link to a drop.io file, because it's letting her upload, and was completely and repeatedly perplexed when I told her I couldn't get to it.
