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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

yeah, I was doing my research using drop.io and they deleted my site back in September (with all of my research data) even though I paid to renew. Their customer service dropped off the face of the earth and I had to call their landlord in Brooklyn (and I tweeted the CEO!) to get a response.

I had backed up in August, so I only lost a few things, but man I was pissed.

I completely adore Evernote (like, seriously, could not live without) but it's totally a different beast from delicious. It's not bookmarking - I mean, yes, you can save snippets of (or whole) web pages, but it's about searching through the text you've collected. Amazingly well. But not about save a bookmark with a keystroke, pull up all you've saved on that topic, pivot to what other people have saved on that topic, get distracted by what's trending, use it as a search engine with (semi-)intelligent human filtering, and somehow land at porn and/or cookie recipes.

Mostly because it's totally brilliant at note-taking in many many media, but it sucks big rocks for sharing what you've saved.

(Oh, and yeah, I've landed at diigo, at least temporarily. It's kind of hilarious - I hated it back when its only trick was the highlighting business and it was being pushed heavily as an education tool; at some point they added bookmarks in order to get less slow and clunky and draw a wider audience, and since this afternoon the rumor/confirmation of Y! killing delicious has become the latest hot link on the site. Which beats the hell out of the piece on edublog awards that was in the top spot before, and I say that as someone who runs edu blogs.)
