Pinboard: Pretty cool about the whole thing, really.

The Fans Are All Right (Pinboard Blog)

"For any bookmarking site, the fan subculture is valuable because it makes such heavy and creative use of tagging, and because they are great collaborators. I can't think of a better way to stress-test a site then to get people filling it with Inception fanfic. You will get thoughtful, carefully-formatted bug reports; and if you actually fix something someone might knit you a sweater."


This? Is so true.

Anyway, I have transferred all my delicious bookmarks to Pinboard (which is awesome-sauce!  even though you have to pay a one-time sign-up fee, it's totally worth it) and shut down my delicious account, because seriously, fuck that shit.

Pinboard isn't quite as good for fandom purposes as delicious WAS, but it's miles better than anywhere else and the owner is being awesome to all the fans.  He's implementing a lot of fandom's most desired features already!

So, anyway.  Check out my new pinboard account! Epic Delicious Fail has led to Epic Delicious Exodus and Epic Delicious Migration to Pinboard.
