BEST DAY slash WORST DAY today. Getting emotionally confused!

Secured an interview on Monday despite it being awkward timing, yay!

However Yahoo! are shutting down delicious. NOT COOL, guys. My whole fannish life for the past five years or more is there! I have nearly 2000 bookmarks! There's already a discussion going on about building a fan-run version (which I would link to if I wasn't on my phone at work) which sounds promising but I'll miss delicious anyway :( so much sadface.

Don't you think it's kind of ironic that people are delicious bookmarking posts about delicious shutting? Or is this some kind of stealth campaign?

ETA: Someone has started a petition to ask Yahoo! to make delicious open source. You can go sign it here.

ETA 2: Electric Bugaloo And another one here.

This is what happens when you piss in fandom's coffee

Yahoo Trying To Unload Del.icio.us, Not Shut It Down

OMG YES

This has been a day of MAJOR PANIC for my fannishness, so news like this is awesome. And also hilarious - because clearly Yahoo! have NO IDEA what people want and like and need, which is kind of sucky when you're a company that supposedly makes things that people want and like and need in order to make money.

Also, think of poor diigo staffers, who thought they were about to make it super-big with the cave-in of delicious and now everyone will head straight back to the pool from whence we spawned, leaving their servers overloaded with our stuff. Ah, well. I hear fish came out, wandered around on land for a few millenia then went back again, too. Bagsy being the orca, they're totally stylish.
