cblj_backupPlaces not to hold a job interview, a conversation about your medical problems, or a phone call: The corner of my desk. It's my desk. Only I get to sit on it.
In other news, rumours abound that Yahoo is killing off Delicious. If you don't use Delicious, this probably does not seem like a big deal. If you do use Delicious, well. Everyone I know who uses Delicious has said, Are you fucking kidding me?
I use Delicious a lot. I use it as a slush file for stuff to read later, a to-do list, and an info archive. I also use it as a source for finding new fanfic. I have four, not including my slush file delicious: tw_fic, extribulum, copperbadge, myreadinglist. And I use it because there is no program or website like it, anywhere, that I've been able to find. Even Google has nothing similar. But it's been ugly for years, is now ugly and only quasi-functional, and is soon going to be ugly, quasi-functional, and dead. So if you use any of the above delicious accounts as a resource, raid them now, because I'm killin' them myself soon. I've already backed them up to my hard drive. (Settings > Export, just in case you were wondering.)
So. As a public service, Cafe, has anyone got alternatives? Preferably ones as simple and fast-loading as Delicious, with a tagging system and a way to browse the tags of others (I find 99% of the White Collar fic I find by reading Delicious's open "whitecollar" tag). One was recc'd to me but I'm a disorganised human being and lost it, argh.
Have at it, kids.
