Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

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.

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

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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

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?

I doubt I was much use anyway, since all my fanfics came from other people's recs!

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.

Sometime overnight my bookmarks finished importing into diigo. They're tagged, and it seems workable. I'd rather keep delicious, though.

I paid for pinboard last night, to check it out, and never received a confirmation email, so I can't log in.

At least the diigo import finally completed. But these replacements seem ill-suited for the potential volume involved in being a delicious replacement.
