on the impending death of Delicious

Yahoo is shutting down Delicious bookmarking service.

(insert Mei freaking out - this icon has never been more appropriate!)

You can export all of your bookmarks. (Delicious → Settings → Export/Backup Bookmarks)

+ One existing alternative is Pinboard.in, though it requires a small fee (that increases with the number of users, so if you want to hop on this bandwagon, hop on it ASAP). It operates exactly as Delicious does (for bookmarking; I don't think it has the same subscription capabilities, which makes me sad). Pinboard allows for importing or mirroring of your Delicious bookmarks.

+ For free bookmarking sites, check out this list and this list. (Most popular fannish alternatives right now are Pinboard and Diigo, potentially Licorize, Google Bookmarks, or Evernote).

+ More up to date (free) alternatives to Delicious in this post.

Freak out or leave helpful links in the comments!

I registered with Pinboard because, whatever, I already pay for LJ, what's $6 for a bookmarking site when I'm already thousands of dollars in debt (thank you, law school). And also because I am stressed out enough right now; I can't deal with fandom bringing more stress. Of course everyone has different priorities, so do some more digging for free alternatives if you'd like.

Now I will return to freaking out about packing/cleaning/moving IRL. I think I need another coffee, oh god.

ETA: For the record, I am meitachi on Pinboard.
