Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
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.)
I'm checking out diigo. I've never done the bookmark-sharing thing anyway; all I want is a way to tag my bookmarks and access them from anywhere/any device.
Unless you were deliberately hiding your bookmarks, you were contributing to the fandom hivemind.
I wouldn't have even known HOW to hide my bookmarks. I doubt I was much use anyway, since all my fanfics came from other people's recs!
That "11 Ways to Backup your Delicious Bookmarks" list that was posted here earlier is several years old. Doesn't mean it isn't still accurate, but I just came across this list that someone put together today: 10 Alternatives to Delicious.com Bookmarking. It has some of the same recommendations, but I'm linking it in case any of the options are useful to any of you.

Thing is, when you look at a bookmark, it tells you how many times it's been publicly bookmarked across the site. So you contribute right there. I know it affects what I click on when I'm surfing for new links.
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.
But I want the Yahoo toolbar back! Ah well.
Maybe there's a newer version of it?

But that's how. I see things come up frequently, or with high numbers, so I know it's something worth checking out.
I have bookmarks on my phone for a number of delicious tag combos. I click on those and see what other people have been saving and how they tagged them. What I love is that you see new or newish things as they're making the rounds, but also the old faves that people are re-reading and that I missed or haven't read in a while.
