Export your bookmarks from delicious

  • Honestly, this data should be free, and available to researchers who work on social tagging.

    You should contribute your bookmarks to a public data set. http://bulk.archive.org has offered to host such data sets. Someone should build a webservice that allows you to easily share your delicious tags. If no one steps up, you can simply email me your export (turian at gmail), and I'll package up whatever I receive.

    Here is a delicious data set, for those who are interested: http://arvindn.livejournal.com/116137.html

    I have some other social tagging datasets in my file. Let me know if you'd like me to dig them up.

  • Any suggestions on where to take my bookmarks? I used delicious a lot.

  • First export your bookmarks, just in case: curl -k --user user:passwd -o backup.xml -O 'https://api.del.icio.us/v1/posts/all

    Second Find a new home.

    I'm using now Diigo but better look around to see which one of the different services suits you.

  • Really sad to see Delicious go. One of my most used services :(

    See http://www.shareaholic.com/services for a list of over 50 bookmarking services.

  • Anyone worked out how to import delicious to Firefox yet, with tags and all? If you import the HTML they give you it doesn't import tags so I have a huge bunch of untagged bookmarks :(

  • Funny thing. I did this minutes ago. The resulting html file was 5.5 MB. I guess that tells how much I've actually used Delicious. Sad to see it go...
