As the mass exodus to Pinboard<\/a> takes place in the wake of the almost announcement of “sun-setting” del.icio.us<\/a>, I had a real long thought about these bookmarking sites and exported by bookmarks from delicious in order to look at all of it. I found stuff I hadn’t looked at in ages. Some of it made me smile. Like opening a box of photographs.
\nThoughts:<\/p>\n

– I used to use online bookmarking a LOT more in 2006.<\/p>\n

– Bookmarks, for me, are about forgetting, but knowing where to forget.<\/p>\n

– For me, there’s nothing social about bookmarking, it’s mostly deeply personal, but I’m glad other people used the same platform. When people would blog their del.icio.us bookmarks, I knew what that meant. I’ve never followed anyone else’s bookmarks, but I clicked on what people linked to.<\/p>\n

– I cannot find it in me to sign up to new things like it’s 2007. I’m done being social online.<\/p>\n

So I decided to hold on to the 1073 days of using del.icio.us and make a thing. I called it mybookmarks<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It’s a sort of archive, as we near 2011 and as a way to tell when I was most active, and what I was interested in. It’s like my Twitter profile, but just with my bookmarks and my comments, sorted by year. It’s for me, hosted by me, not going anywhere, not being sunset, just sitting there quietly being useful. It makes me happy. So there.<\/p>\n

Bookmarks are dead, long live bookmarks.<\/p>\n
