Well that was a terrifying 24 hours. First there was the news that Yahoo would likely shut down Delicious, permanently, in the near future. Fandom had a freak out, understandably, overloading and accidentally DDOS'ing the servers of previously lesser-known but similar services Diigo, Pinboard.IN, and Licorize to name a few. Fans even discussed starting an alternative service called Fanmarks which we still think would be interesting (maybe with specific clouds for fandoms, etc).
Luckily, late this afternoon news was released on the official Delicious blog that Delicious isn't being shut down, it's more likely being sold and we collectively released the breath we'd been holding. The only downside is that we'd all already gone through 24 hours of grieving and the usual stages: ( Shock and Denial, Pain and Guilt, Bargaining... )
TL;DR: Right, the point is: aren't you glad I don't have to rename our So Delicious So Terrible feature So PinboardIN So Terrible?
Yeah. Me too.
