[DELICIOUS] La fin d'une idole

[anyssia]

Today, I am very, very zen. No, really, I'm totally NOT going to grab my computer and throw it against the wall. Not.
Okay, to be fair, it's not my laptop the pb, it's Delicious.



First: MY EYES! >_< This new layout looks like a website for kiddies T_T

Second: MY TAGS!!! è_é No more edit tags, bundle tags, tags, ... my poor, poor tags.

Third: THE SLASH! As in, the slash bar ( / ), not the man slash. A lot of tags with a slash don't show up in the results of a search and trying to filter the results with one tag with a slash just goes 404.

Fourth : NO NETWORK/SUBSCRIPTION. Not that I used it personally, but, still. I can't believe how many people are crying over their lost network (and tag bundles. That's pretty universal too ^^;;)

Fifth: ITALICS EVERYWHERE. Urgh, my eyes, again.

Sixth: USERPIC EVERYWHERE. Because people totally need to see my userpic next to all my bookmarks on my page... -_-"

Seventh: DUPLICATES. I corrected a couple of old bookmarks a few days ago and now they both show: the old one and the corrected one. WTF people?! (also, apparently, some say that previously deleted bookmarks have come up again)

Eight: COMMAS/COLONS. Every tag with a comma and/or colon have been split in two. Good luck to anyone who needs to correct their tags (well, once we'll have the 'edit tags' feature back on...)

I could go on and on, but I think you got the idea >_< You can also take a look here, for more information/rants ^^


Bottom line, people, FINISH YOUR WEBSITE BEFORE UPLOADING IT!! T_______________________T
(because two additions (the stacks and userpic) VS the deletion of every single good feature? NO WIN!)


So, I'm moving to...
Diigo! I managed to get everything working again, even if Diigo doesn't have the tag bundle feature *cries* and if I had to spend more than an hour to repost the last 40/50 bookmarks I added during September, because the export/import thingy had fuckep up those.

... PINBOARD because Delicious doesn't work for Fandom anymore and Diigo is a censoring, character limiting bitch.



(for those who don't know why I'm talking about this, I used Delicious (and now Diigo Pinboard) to bookmark every single fic I read (and some random links too))

What the hell happened with Delicious?! Where are my bundles?! I want my bundles baaaack! *cries* I had an awful day and now this?! I can't believe that didn't even do a beta version. I wonder how their reaction will be when they see how many people will go away. Could you tell me more about Diigo?

Oh yeah, my bundles T_T
Even so, it's not that bad for me because all my tags where "btvs-spike/xander", "fandom-sga", and such, and the bundles where merely to class those by fandom. So, since the fandom is still in the tag itself, it's almost okay for me ^^;

I don't think they really care that we all go. From what I gathered, they had more or less warned when they changed the boss that the public they wanted to attract wouldn't be the same anymore. So, if the fandoms move, they'll probably happy that we won't be there to pollute their social service (which we had an glimpse of this when they deleted all the tags from account no longer used).

I think we have two credible alternatives: Diigo (http://www.diigo.com/user/anyssia) and Pinboard (http://pinboard.in/u:anyssia).

Diigo is free, Pinboard costs about $9 to register (one time fee only).
Diigo is more social with the equivalent to network, Pinboard is very clean, very neat, very fast to charge.

I didn't know which one to chose at first, but the fee for Pinboard isn't really a concern since it's only $10 once.

Diigo does have the social thing going for them, but since I didn't use the networks on Delicious, I can do without now. BUT and that's really a problem, Diigo has limit characters on a lot of things (tags, titles, comments, ...) and that ARRRRGH for me.

So, I guess I'll use Pinboard primarily with Diigo as backup.
