Why do big companies shut down websites instead of selling them?

#42This is sad. I use delicious daily, and I actually use it as a search engine - The ones that are most bookmarked is usually what I am looking for.
Another advantage is that I can share links form multiple machines.
I am avoiding chrome until they have something like noscript plugin (which will likely not happen) in firefox

#43It's been a busy day over here.
It's a sad day to see an internet icon go down, but congrats to you and the pinboard team. I finally made the leap.

#44More money for Maciej. More features for Pinboard. More happiness for us early birds who got in at a sub $2 price :)

#45Delicious is a black hole for me. I have 95 bookmarks, and once something is bookmarked with it, I never visit it later. Is this unique to me?
Same here. Instapaper is another one but I visit it once in a blue moon.
I was in the same group as you guys but lately I've started using Instapaper's Kindle export feature to read long articles (NYT, etc) on my Kindle. It's a really good experience. Try it out.

I use mine to keep track of tech links mostly. I do refer back when I need to find something I know I've bookmarked, especially if I can't remember how to Google for it.

I find this happening to myself as well. I think it's the nature of tags vs a more visual paradigm.

#49StavrosK, jump on this!
His service is very different, it'd be a shame if the service changed just to get in on this.
I'm probably going to try migrating my bookmarks over to historio.us.
At the very least, a Delicious-themed landing page with a "how to migrate your bookmarks" and a few emails exchanged with bloggers who've lamented the loss of Delicious ought to draw a few more people's attention to StavrosK's site.
