Yahoo is Shutting Down Del.icio.us

I switched to Pinboard (http://pinboard.in) in April and I highly recommend it. It's not free, but it's well worth looking at. (The pricing is a one-time fee that climbs as the site grows. It's currently $6.89. There's also a service to archive your bookmarks, but I haven't tried that. That's $25 a year currently.)

Here's their (probably about to be updated) "Should you switch from Delicious?" page: http://pinboard.in/switch/

Where's the best place to migrate all of your Del.icio.us bookmarks?

Seconded. I've been a happy Pinboard user since the service launched. Haven't had any trouble.

Since the "it's not free but..." angle has already been played I'll add to kqr2's question...

Where are the best free places to migrate all of your Delicious bookmarks?

------EDIT---

OK, at a minimum you can go here: https://secure.delicious.com/settings/bookmarks/export and download your entire collection (importantly... with tags). This will at least preserve your content and, since I think many of us on HN are of the technical sort, permit you to scrape the data at your leisure. You get a massive (well, in my case) definition list of elements with the following included as attributes on the item's anchor tag: the url, the add date (ADD_DATE=) the private status of the link (PRIVATE=) and the tags (TAGS=). You also get a text description. Very nice!
