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!

Yeah, we are having the same problem with [livejournal.com profile] queerlit50, but not on anywhere NEAR your scale. But I'm not sure what would work better for indexing book reviews than a bookmarking site, either....

A site about books, like LibraryThing. Most tags are associated with books, anyway, and you could have "reviews" be links to the books on the comm. What you'd lose is having an efficient way to cross-index by community member.

Hmmm. That seems bit more difficult for browsing by topic, too, and there would also be lots of non-50books_poc reviews. I don't think there'd be a way to filter?

I dunno, but I'm not thrilled with any of the review sites out there, either.

Hrm, you're right, you can't have multiple reviews for your own listing of a book. (You can have multiple links in you own review, but by then you really are pushing the format.)
