Stable?  [[User:Ross]]
Delicious was forseen to be closed when an image of a Yahoo presentation leaked on the internet stating it for "sunset", however Yahoo soon stated the site was to be sold.


Most of the engineers are gone from delicious; one ex-engineer describes that it's on "life support".  And it's run by [[Yahoo]], which is pruning unprofitable services aggressively. [[User:Edward Vielmetti]]
'''However''', if the website does not find a potential buyer, there is still the chance it may shut down. If that happens, fingers to the keyboards for backups, people!


There are a bunch of engineers on the team; I'm a current (non-engineer) member and I wouldn't call it on "life support". [[User:Brittag|Brittag]] 17:25, 23 April 2009 (UTC)

Delicious is a social bookmarks site where you can post and tag sites using Yahoo!'s servers. The shutdown of the website was seemingly announced when an image from a Yahoo presentation was posted online, however, Yahoo soon said that Delicious was to be sold, not shut down.

Backup Tools

  • General Overview of backing up Delicious using the XML API. Up to date as of Sept 2008.
  • When logged in: Settings -> Export - "creates a list of all your bookmarks in a format understandable by most browsers".
  • XML Dump (requires username and password). Delicious doesn't like it if you try to call this more than once an hour or so. API details.

Vital Signs

Delicious was forseen to be closed when an image of a Yahoo presentation leaked on the internet stating it for "sunset", however Yahoo soon stated the site was to be sold.

However, if the website does not find a potential buyer, there is still the chance it may shut down. If that happens, fingers to the keyboards for backups, people!
