never made use of the enormous flow of user sharing data they were getting to do anything interesting. It's a shame they didn't, because many of us users sure did/do. By virtue of its popularity and simplicity, you could know almost every page with any merit was in its system and tagged, making it easy to discover stuff you hadn't even bookmarked yet. Example: Want a good Python tutorial about threads? http://www.del…

In a way, companies should be in it for the money. That might even have prevented this. Of course, money shouldn't be the only motivator, but in general, companies should aim to make money, very healthy.

#94I've gone to use Delicious several times but stopped short at the login screen.
There's no way I'm going to use a service when I have to create a Yahoo account.
Same goes with Flickr.

#95This is really annoying... I have over 3000 bookmarks on del.icio.us all nicely tagged, nice browser plugins, use it every day, etc. Definitely hoping to find an alternative that isn't a step backwards...

Google has their loss-leader products that exist for the benefit of the online community, but I don't think that this is (necessarily) Yahoo lacking that benevolence.
Let's face it, Google has a lot more capital to back non-profitable products. Yahoo supported Delicious for as long as they could, but ultimately it's hard to justify liabilities like expensive, non-profitable projects to your shareholders.
Google can do it because they've proven that their strategy stuffs the coffers regardless.

Chrome has free bookmark syncing built in. There's also the Xmarks plugin if you don't want to be tied to a specific browser.
Weren't Xmarks shutting down too?
They have been acquired by LastPass: http://blog.xmarks.com/?p=2033

Wouldn't be neat that somebody offered to backup this information? They can have something like "donate your bookmarks" and I'll upload my full export.
The ArchiveTeam would probably be interested in this: http://archiveteam.org/

#99Where's the best place to migrate all of your Del.icio.us bookmarks?
You could try http://www.favilous.com - I know the founders and they are in the process of building an importer for Delicious bookmarks. They originally launched back in January on HN - http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1060022.

#100Noooo! I love delicious and am using it daily, it's one of the reasons I don't completely switch to Chrome (since the plugin is not as good as the Firefox one). OK, time to dire off the API and suck off all the bookmarks. Where should I put all my bookmarks? What other bookmark service has a nice browser plugin, APIs, etc? After this I'm also convinced that Yahoo is hopeless.
I haven't tried it yet, but people say good things about http://historio.us/
