Delicious alternatives

Hi all,

We've seen the news that Yahoo is pulling the plug on Delicious, and we're currently investigating alternatives. The two mentioned most frequently are Pinboard and Diigo. If anyone has experience with Delicious alternatives, let us know!

Pinboard isn't suitable for a community, as far as I know - it's for one person, and is deliberately non-social.

I see what you mean about deliberately nonsocial.

Currently, the social aspects of the delicious account don't get used that much, unless people are getting to the 50books_poc account via their delicious network (which is something that I'd never see). We get very few "for:50books_poc" links, for example. And if there are other social features that we should have been using, I don't know what they are.

Not having compact and list views might be the dealbreaker for pinboard. And, of course, there are no bundles, and at ~1500 tags (currently, and expected to grow hugely in this next year), we need something with some real tag-wrangling / tag-organizing / tag-browsing tools.

Hrm. As of 1.5 yrs ago, bundles were on the pinboard dev-list. But in a long-term, haven't-even-started-researching way.
