this all sucks

Apparently Yahoo is planning to shutdown delicious and have already gotten rid of all the delicious employees, so maybe that it is not working right for me is already due to degrading infrastructure?

And the other bookmark service I used fannishly, Simpy, (well once upon a time I bookmarked fanart there because they had better tag operators than delicious, but it had been flaky so I drifted away) shut down earlier this year, as I only now noticed. They didn't even sent users an email or anything, so I didn't export my bookmarks from there. Thankfully that were only a couple not the 5800+ I store on delicious. :(

Also SGU was cancelled. And even though I would have rather had SGA, I still watched SGU. I'm not that broken up about it being cancelled, but I'm not gleeful that it's gone either.

I made a Diigo account last night. Looks like a decent alternative. However I think the importing-from-delicious feature is either really slow right now - wouldn't be surprising, with everybody switching over at once - or it didn't work. I'm gonna try again.

In principle importing works. At least it did when I got my account at diigo a few years back and wanted to try the features, so I imported the delicious bookmarks I had then (many many fewer than I have now).

Do you remember how long it took? I started mine last night and this morning there was still nothing, so I sent another request. Hope I won't end up with doubles.

I think it was fairly instant. But then it weren't many bookmarks, and at the time there was no rush of people coming to diigo.
