Interesting, it has a del.icio.us scraper. I still don't understand why that site disappeared, it was great. By my recollection, Yahoo bought it and killed it.

- nextos 2y agoI wish someone brought back a Delicious clone. I loved its naive Web 2.0 aesthetics. I think it was a really nice service. Right now all similar ones I know of are unpleasant to use and get in your way. It was really minimal and useful to find new things. One particular area where link sharing makes a lot of sense, yet existing services are not very nice, is academic papers.
- pigbearpig 2y agoI don’t really remember delicious, but what would the difference be from something like https://pinboard.in/popular/ https://pinboard.in/popular/ ? I was under the impression that’s basically a clone. Was it just a different aesthetic?
- jonnytran 2y agoPinboard was a clone with a different business model: users actually paid for it. Fast forward, and delicious died, only to be acquired by — you guessed it — Pinboard [1]. Because Pinboard was actually serving its paying customers, it just kept trucking along.

- pjc50 2y agodelicious launched before Pinboard, IIRC. There were a number of such services.
- nashashmi 2y agotry it out. del.icio.us
- bonki 2y agoThat's exactly what happened and made me hate Yahoo even more than I already had. The day delicious was shut down for good I lost something that I have never managed to replace. Sad times :(
- nashashmi 2y agoIt still exists.
