del.icio.us is still up, albeit with a "note secure" warning [0].

My name is Maciej Ceglowski. I bought what remains of this site in 2017 for about the price of a Volkswagen. I got that money from running a paid clone of del.icio.us called Pinboard.

I was a user of del.icio.us and now a VERY happy paying customer of Pinboard.

It really is an incredibly powerful tool that I use for all kinds of things (e.g. https://twitter.com/alexpotato/status/1447155166453567497)

Every time I send someone a topical/relevant link for a discussion or project I'm involved with, people always ask "How do you find this stuff?". I mention that it's primarily reading great Hacker News posts or tweets and just saving it over time.

Maciej's blog is also particularly entertaining including both funny technical and non-technical posts.

I'm a longtime Pinboard user but it has some annoying quirks. The biggest weakness for me is the limited search. e.g. Yesterday I was trying to find my kids' school menu site and searched for "menu"... nothing. Turns out I did have it bookmarked, but the title is "Menus and Pricing". So you have to search for "menus" to find it. I've made suggestions to the developer on stuff like this over the years but it hasn't improved much.

Pinboard is $22 a year which is around $1.83 a month.

Very reasonably-priced, might have to give it a try.

I use it, it's good. Thinking about tooling around the API. The tag cloud is nice.

A tip, use the bookmarklets in your bookmark bar: https://pinboard.in/howto/

there's also a nice Pins app (third-party) for mac, ios

Both my delicious accounts are still accessible. I was away from the Internet for eight years (jail) and when I got out delicious was one of the only accounts that still worked, since it hadn't changed its authentication system while I was gone. Sadly, 99% of my bookmarks are dead links now.

Lots of times, just doing a current search on the title will recover it.

Yeah, definitely a percentage of them are just "moved" links.. things that pointed to say a .html file before people realized that file extensions were out-of-date.

I'm the author of the post, it was actually inspired by me missing del.icio.us
