cimorene: painting of two women in Regency gowns drinking tea (tea)

As ticked off as I am at Delicious, I'm still prepared to be won back over (until something better comes along) if they can get their act together and restore functionality in a decent time-frame... as long as Pinboard remains paying-only and Diigo continues to censor. (It's not entirely a matter of which one is the most feature-rich: ultimately I will settle wherever is the most fandom-populous, probably; in the meantime I'm saving my bookmarks on AO3, since I've read that Diigo has a habit of failing to export bookmarks for backup.)

  • Delicious fixed / tags, so you can now browse recent or popular pairing bookmarks by tag. Of course, this won't be as useful if everyone who has left in the past week stays gone.


  • The 'results for TAG' page, which comes with recent and popular tabs, does show more than 10 tags at a time and does let you page backwards.


  • It doesn't show you who saved the each link on the Recent page anymore, because it has instead created what I would call a 'collapsed view': each URL in the system is displayed only once on the page, in reverse order of how recently it was saved. You can easily see how popular it was, but without the notes field, you can't see the summary/notes, which is a LOT less information about the story:



    In contrast, Diigo's feed is like the old Delicious's in that it shows each person's bookmark separately and also displays their notes.


  • Not only is it still impossible to see which tags were applied by which bookmarker on the individual link/url page, but you also can't see when anyone bookmarked the link anymore, as far as I can tell, either from the tag page (which used to break the feed into saved-on dates) or the link page (which used to display time next to each bookmarker's comments and tags).

    Diigo's link page displays tags and timestamps with each bookmarker's info, much like the old Delicious's did. It also displays a snapshot of the entire page so you can actually read it from inside the link page as well as easily click through to the link. On the down side, I could see this resulting in people accidentally bookmarking the link page instead of the link. I checked, and the Diigolet bookmarklet doesn't do anything to prevent this.

  • The 'related tags' sidebar is also present on the tag page (recent or popular), ordered by frequency, but no longer displaying a count. (As you probably recall, there would formerly have been a number next to each of the other tags.)

    On the other hand, Diigo has no related tags sidebar. It does display everyone's tags on their bookmarks, though, so it is still possible to manually enter other tags to filter the results further.


  • Relatedly, [personal profile] kaigou is collecting a feature wishlist for the ideal fannish bookmarking service, which some people are now referring to as fic.titio.us. What's on your wishlist? - Go check out the suggested features and vote for the important ones, if you are interested in/would like to make use of such a project!
