Delicious and Diigo

pslasherHoly Mother of God, what did Delicious DO? I thought we were done with all the changes!! Did I somehow miss the news that they were taking away networks, subscriptions, and totally changing the site interface? Or did they just do it without telling us first? So much of the functionality I loved about Delicious is gone now, and a huge thing for fandom is that tags with a / in them no longer work.
So I am now at diigo. (Oddly enough, all bookmarks with slashes have been changed to underscores in diigo... But at least they converted them, and didn't just leave them as is and give me a 404 error when clicking on them like delicious did.) Diigo is certainly different from delicious, I guess it'll just take a little time to get used to it. I've found a group for Delicious users now on Diigo which seems to be a gathering of fannish folks. If you're over there drop me a line so I can friend you! (Or follow, or whatever the word is)
My ultimate desire is to bookmark all fannish works over at my AO3 profile (where I already have 106 bookmarks, most of them not bookmarked in delicious or diigo). I'd like to keep all fic, podfic, art, vids, ect... at the AO3 and all other bookmarks (communities I like, meta, non-fannish stuff) at diigo (or wherever I wind up). The only reason I haven't done that is the AO3 bookmarks don't have much functionality yet, and there is no import option. But the OTW is working on it! They said today that they are working on improving bookmarks and hope to have better functionality in the next few months. You can check out what they currently have and what they plan to have here.
I thought about pinboard, but decided I'm not sure about paying, since it looks like it doesn't have networks. We'll see, I might decide to switch it up after using diigo a bit.
ETA: Apparently Delicious is considered back in beta - they say they are working on the site still and are taking feedback from users. So our stuff might all come back. Eventually. THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN NICE TO KNOW about 2 hours ago!
ursamajor over at Dreamwidth is thinking about making a Dreamwidth version of delicious and is taking suggestions over here. I think it's an overhaul of the memories function combined with possible off-site bookmarking, though they seem to be very open to ideas. I think that's really cool, as I consider Dreamwidth to be a fan-friendly long-term environment.
