Social bookmarking

[noracharles]

I've migrated to trunk.ly

So far it looks much easier to aggregate links and to copy links from the bookmarkers you're following than it was using delicious. It looks like it could be a wonderful tool for fandom. I like the tumblr style rebookmarking and the reccing of users who link to the things you are interested in.

It sounds great, but urgh, I am not sure I want to play with another service right now. Also, I can't find any screen shots of what it looks like/ much explanation of how it works?

That means you're old :-D

It's almost exactly like delicious, except with a cleaner interface. Like on tumblr you can rebookmark, and you can also set it to scrape your twitter, your facebook wall or the rss feed of your journal for links, so bookmarking is incredibly easy.

And of course there's a browser button (exactly like delicious) and a web interface (exactly like delicious), which is what I prefer.

You can follow bookmarkers, and read them all on your friends page (exactly like delicious) and trunk.ly even suggests people you might like to follow based on your searches.

I find it easier and more intuitive to use than delicious or google bookmarks, and what's more, far far easier to read.

Yes, I am a crotchety old lady who doesn't like change :oS

I think I'll have to get used to the idea first ;o) I JUST started getting the hang of the Firefox Add-on for Delicious.

Did you migrate your delicious bookmarks?

I'm keeping all my bookmarks. They're often useful for jogging my memory when I'm considering investing time in reading a long fic, and I do have ambitious plans of one day reading some of the fics on my extensive to read list... ;-)
