wistfuljane: the many expressions of watanuki (xxxholic) (*flails*)

I'd like to link this entry on the Fanlore comm if you don't mind.

It's fine, I don't mind.

But after the most recent "improvement" to the save form, maybe I'm not so sorry that something else will inevitably rise up to replace it or else someone may buy it who wants it to improve for real.

*nods* I've been dissatisfied with delicious.com as a service for awhile now. It seems that they prefer aesthetic/design at the expense of usability and accessibility -- or like a lot of their attempts to streamline weren't very intuitive. I also don't like their stance on, hm, how to put this. It's like a lot of users use delicious.com in different ways. In most cases, different from how it's designed to work and so these users have different needs. delicious.com in general tends to treat those different ways & needs as singular cases -- like those cases are the exception and so they don't need to address or consider them.

[personal profile] murklins explained it better than I do and I think the change to the save form is just another instance of this dismissive attitude. So I echo your sentiment though I really will miss delicious.com because as [personal profile] semielliptical said, thousands and thousands of fannish bookmarks, years and years of collective work.

We still use Diigo for the White Collar Newsletter to some extent. I don't mind it, but I don't know if murklins script that posts the newsletter (in, like, 2 minutes, it's awesome) could be made to function with Diigo.

I've forgotten that the White Collar Newsletter used Diigo. That's a bit of reassuring reminder.
