And should I be worried about my data?<\/strong><\/div>\n<div id=\"_mcePaste\">&#8211; No, we are not shutting down Delicious. While we have determined that there is not a strategic fit at Yahoo!, we believe there is a ideal home for Delicious outside of the company where it can be resourced to the level where it can be competitive.<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<div>Secondly, if you are worried about your data, just make a backup of it. \u00a0Delicious had an export option for years. \u00a0Login to your account and you&#8217;ll be able to <a href=\"https:\/\/secure.delicious.com\/settings\/bookmarks\/export\">export your bookmarks<\/a> from the Settings page.<\/div>\n<div>Thirdly, I can understand that news like that could throw some people into a search for alternative mode. \u00a0And here are alternatives of them out there. \u00a0I haven&#8217;t tried any of them in years, since I&#8217;m a happy Delicious user. \u00a0But if I were forced to choose one day, <a href=\"http:\/\/xmarks.com\">Xmarks<\/a> would be my first choice. \u00a0My reasons are:<\/div>\n<div>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.xmarks.com\/about\/features\">All features<\/a> that are vital for me are a part of the free subscription. \u00a0More features are available for premium subscribers.<\/li>\n<li>Cross-browser support that covers all browsers that I care about.<\/li>\n<li>Support for sharing of bookmarks. \u00a0That&#8217;s the main reason for me to actually use a social bookmarking service instead of a much simpler bookmark synchronization service.<\/li>\n<li>Support for private bookmarks. \u00a0I want to share as much as possible, but not everything.<\/li>\n<li>Easy integration with third-party tools and services. \u00a0For example, using an RSS feed.<\/li>\n<li>Support for <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.xmarks.com\/?p=2170\">direct import from Delicious<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<p>But with all that said, I want to stress it once again &#8211; Delicious is not shutting down. \u00a0So if you use and enjoy the service, simply continue doing just that. \u00a0No need to worry.<\/p>\n<!-- google_ad_section_end -->\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<!-- google_ad_section_start -->\n<p>During the last few days I&#8217;ve been asked by several people what I think about the scary bit of news regarding the shutdown of Delicious. \u00a0 I&#8217;ve replied individually several times, but I feel that a blog post is in order. \u00a0So here it goes.
