I guess this shows you how much attention I paid to Del.icio.us! I learned the other day that Delicious went under last summer, purchased - for one last time, by Pinboard (another web 2.0 company) to maintain the site for historical reasons (good on them!).  Delicious was quite an innovative site at the time.  Launched in 2003 to make web bookmarks social and to enable people to share interesting links with one another. I ended up moving all my safari and firefox/netscape bookmarks to it early on, especially when I wanted to keep track of things both at home and in the office, and I connected with some classmates and online friends in the EdTech community on this site.

After the initial sale to yahoo (2005) and most certainly after the sale to AVOS (2011) the site certainly lost it luster for me. Many in the EdTech community migrated to Diigo, which I think they viewed as more stable.  After Google Reader folded I attempted to re-purpose delicious to be the place I shared stuff I read on GReader, but the lack of users made it pointless. At the end, with IFTTT, I used both Diigo and Delicious as concurrent bookmarking services to share stuff I read on Feedly and Reddit (sometimes via Twitter).  I guess now it's just Diigo.  Adieu delicious!
