I never used del.icio.us but am I wrong in thinking that getting bookmarks from 10 years ago will just give a bunch of 404's?
Probably not, Maciej (from the GP link) did some testing on Pinboard's collection of bookmarked links back in 2011.

#52I 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.
pinboard was what I started paying for, after reading lots of HN praise. https://pinboard.in
The message on del.icio.us is by the same guy behind pinboard (Maciej Cegłowski)

Diigo is arguably better (bookmarks, tags and highlights) and is going strong 10+ years later.

#54Delicious was for a time at the cultural nerve center of the web, and I think had the potential to be something like a twitter or a reddit if stewarded correctly.
I like to think there was an alternate reality where Yahoo didn't run itself into the ground, and took its properties: delicious, flickr, tumblr, its massive userbase across fantasy sports, groups, news, messenger, geocities and answers, its email service, and a better-executed alliance with Mozilla and rode them into prominence and relevance.
All the pieces were there, just the management vision appears not to have been.

#57Is this for real; it's like Jesus coming back and he might have my bookmarks, oh Crikes!
It'll have your bookmarks, but will they resolve to any pages/sites that still exist in 2020?

#58Hmm next what, people will abandon Facebook and flock back to thematic PHPBB forums? (I honestly can't wait!)
The all-mighty account creation hurdle will kill all such initiatives.
And to fix this, you'd need buy-in from major tech companies. All of which don't want to solve this problem.

OpenID 3.0 to the rescue!

#60Ask HN: Why did delicious.com fail? (2017) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15493212 After some digging, the above thread seemed like the most informative one as to what happened to Delicious (with a top comment from joshu, no less).
This made me nostalgic for RSS. Is anyone reviving that in a nice way?
