Edit for less whining: My brother prodded me to install Foxylicious, a firefox plugin, which imported my links with tags and made it really easy to search up all my links.

They also seem to be pay-supported -- if you upgrade from the free account, you get more advanced features like custom highlighting on the bookmarked web pages -- which may keep the up and running, since it amounts to about five bucks a month for the cheapest plan.

It also has collaborative elements to it, so if anyone is interested, I'm eric_trautmann on that service.

As for alternatives, I've been advised to use http://pinboard.in
You pay a small fee when signing up but it should be able to do the trick on the long run.
SHOULD. Because I'm guessing they're under heavy load at the moment, digital exodus probably, and even if I imported all my bookmarks two hours ago, they're still not showing up at the moment.

Considering the huge exodus expected along the weeks, I'm also guessing we'll soon see some sexy plugins to daily autopost on wordpress. I'm hoping for it. Please. Anyone ? *o.o* ]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=9314&Focus=275048#Comment_275048 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=9314&Focus=275048#Comment_275048 Thu, 16 Dec 2010 19:24:31 -0800 Ariana
1. You're gonna install three plugins to get everything transferred across. You're only going to KEEP one, so no need to worry about memory leaks, but I'm assuming that, like me, you've got about 8 gajillion nicely sorted and nested lables, and you'd like to keep them. So:

Foxylicious - Will keep all your pretty tags/bundles.
Google Toolbar - will quickly and easily upload everything (including tags) from firefox to google.
Gmarks - actually even a little better than the old delicious plugin.

2. Go ahead and install them all at once. That way you're only restarting a couple of times instead of, you know, every time you do anything.

2.5. If you keep some bookmarks separate from delicious (computer-specific links, for instance) you can either make a backup of your Firefox bookmarks ("organize bookmarks" >> make backup) and delete them until after you've made the delicious transfer, or just delete those bookmarks from google later. Your call.

3. Okay. From the foxylicious options menu, go ahead and import all of your delicious links into Firefox. It's going to dump all of your tags (but prettily nested and tagged into folders) into one "Delicious" folder.

4. From the FIREFOX manage bookmarks menu, go ahead and drag all the folders OUT of the Delicious folder (and just into the main bookmarks whatever) and delete the (now empty) delicious folder, as it's, well, empty.

4.5. Okay! Now you've got ALL your delicious bookmarks, tagged and nested, in Firefox. If you don't actually need bookmarks on more than one computer, go ahead and stop here. (And uninstall all the plugins you installed, because you don't need any of them anymore, you're set.)

5. But you probably *do* want your bookmarks on more than one computer, so from the GOOGLE TOOLBAR bookmarks pulldown, select "import bookmarks from Firefox. Let it do its thing and all of your bookmarks should now be stored online just as well as they ever were on delicious.

6. Uninstall foxylicious and google tool bar, as you no longer need either. Because, frankly, google toolbar does a fuckton of really useless shit that just takes up screen space. You just want the same functionality you had with the old delicious plugin, yes? That's your new Gmarks plugin. From its option menu, you can set it to nest tags (using some character for nesting, I use +). Hide the firefox bookmarks menu, or give it its own toolbar, whichever you fancy.

7. If, like me, you've got chrome on some computers and firefox on the others, all you need to do is install instances of the Gmarks plugin in the firefox installs, and chrome will handle things natively anyway, so that's done. Ta mother fucking da, and fuck you Yahoo I'm just fine without delicious. ]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=9314&Focus=275055#Comment_275055 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=9314&Focus=275055#Comment_275055 Thu, 16 Dec 2010 20:39:13 -0800 dorkmuffin

Thanks for to Ariana for the tips, I do seem to always end up being pulled back to Google, at least they aren't going to go down the pan any time soon.

A much lighter program is Cintanotes (http://www.cintanotes.com) which is a web clipping/notes storing program similar to evernote. At the moment it only clips text though there are plans to add more features.
You can synchronise this through Dropbox. ]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=9314&Focus=275165#Comment_275165 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=9314&Focus=275165#Comment_275165 Fri, 17 Dec 2010 11:29:06 -0800 Digitalyn Source. ]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=9314&Focus=275166#Comment_275166 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=9314&Focus=275166#Comment_275166 Fri, 17 Dec 2010 11:39:56 -0800 RenThing
Thank you kindly for that write up. My wife uses delicious more than I do and while I know my wife can curse, I didn't know she could get quite that creative with her vulgarity.

As far as note taking goes google notebook seemed promising, but they stopped updating it and I use Docs now. I just found a chrome extension called Snippy and if it actually works it would be pretty great for note taking. I'm just waiting on some slow downloads so I can restart my browser and try it. Has anyone tried Springpad? It sounds really powerful, but I'm not sure how they can offer it for free. Looks fun so I guess I'll have to test it too. ]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=9314&Focus=275238#Comment_275238 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=9314&Focus=275238#Comment_275238 Fri, 17 Dec 2010 19:47:03 -0800 Brendan McGinley http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=9314&Focus=275352#Comment_275352 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=9314&Focus=275352#Comment_275352 Sat, 18 Dec 2010 17:01:07 -0800 Eric Trautmann
