Delicious has been ruined!

ficbot · 10-12-2011, 08:40 AM

I was keeping all my TBR and already read books on Delicious, carefully tagged, and I had a good workflow for everything. They have totally ruined it. Tag bundles are gone, can't see tags within the bookmarklet to add anything, and it's just a nightmare to browse because they show you every tag now, not just the most frequent. I am not confident they can get it workable (for me) again given the huge UI change they seem to be making. I am not sure either that it's worth the time to tag things in Goodreads or Shelfari either. I guess I will just add a 'year read' column to Calibre and stop keeping stuff on-line. And this is the end of the Indie eBook Hall of Fame for me too, I think. Just too much work to get a whole new workflow going. Sigh.

That's the problem with "the cloud". Your info is purely at the mercy of other companies, and you can't easily get it out.

A bit of discussion on MetaFilter the first part of this month on the changes and the affect on a large subset of it's users... Slashfic fans. You might try a look at pinboard. A lot of folks, including myself, have moved to it.
