I went to a talk by Joshua Schachter not that long after del.icio.us started gaining traction. It was a most fantastic time for the web, the possibilities seemed endless. I happen to think if it hadn't been bought by Yahoo! who seemed to have no vision for it then it would still be a tool I relied on.

Haha I swear I read something on here the other day about how trends are circular and it won't be long until del.icio.us is back, and here we are!

I seem to recall del.icio.us being a great discovery tool, as well as a great way to catalog your bookmarks (another discovery tool that was great for a while was Stumbleupon). Will be interesting to see if anyone can bring back some of that "old school" curated/personal discovery vibe, which feels like it's becoming more relevant again with the recent discussion around Google results.

Hmm next what, people will abandon Facebook and flock back to thematic PHPBB forums?

(I honestly can't wait!)

del.icio.us was by far my favorite place to store bookmarks. I hope it comes back similar to the original. Thanks for keeping it alive!

Honestly, I would definitely enjoy that. Somehow the discussion on such boards was much more engaging.

I absolutely loved del.icio.us back in the day and I would love to use it again. No other method of bookmarking/collecting sites worked for me as well as del.icio.us. And I have never found the right alternative.

I was only thinking of it last night when reading the Deja News discussion -- so many useful services that got acquired and ceased (Wunderlist, Skitch and many more)
