Okay, so.

More coherent people than I have already spoken about the delicious changes. Here's a linkspam that summarizes a lot of things.

I had wanted an account some time ago to keep track of links, and after sidequest was created I wanted to make an account to keep track of prompts. Not now, though. I have no idea who their target demographic is at this point - and frankly, I'd like to know who they're hoping to attract with their new service! - but I am very obviously not in it.

Has anyone here used Pinboard for any length of time? I would like to know, since each account requires a small fee to sign up, how easy it is to separate links into different topics that can be browsed separately. I don't want to sign up and add links that are of personal interest to me if I have to turn around and buy a new account just to be able to link sidequest prompts separately. I would have to choose one or the other. Probably fannish things, because honestly? I don't really share links to random things that often, and I could probably just create a post here for that purpose and keep it updated on its irregular basis, and be fine with it. (And yes, I know it's just under ten dollars, but frankly, that's a lot of money right now. Things will be better at the beginning of October! I just need to be careful for now.)

Tiered security (ability to mark links as network-only) seems to be the closest we're getting, which... is reasonable, I suppose. Subaccounts do have a fairly high potential for abuse. Still a little disappointing, though.

I went ahead and signed up - what's your username? (I'm still trying to figure out who the mystery person following me is - when I click on the link to show the name, it says it's "No one." Very odd.)

Your mystery person remains a mystery, alas; all my bookmarks somehow imported as private (I am 98% certain this is Delicious's fault), so I've been putting off adding anyone until I've sorted out making the right links public again. (I can PM you once I do; it's under one of the usernames I also use for RL stuff, so I try to avoid linking it to my fannish ID anywhere that Google might be peeking.)
