Next: Don’t need delicious.com

Some days ago I got an email from Yahoo with the subject “Delicious has a new owner — what this means for you”. Well, it meant something for me, but I guess it’s not what they wanted to tell me.

It just needed this kind of reminder of my account at this social bookmarking provider delicious.com, although I stopped using it already a while ago. At first, it looked very useful, because I could have all my bookmarks stored in the “cloud” accessible from any browser at any place or computer. But it didn’t work that seamlessly as it sounds, and on the other hand I don’t have the need to share my bookmarks with the public.

And moreover, I started to put every kind of link in my personal web “board” with some notes along about why and how (especially “how useful”). That is something really missing with social bookmarks: I need more than just a link and probably a short description, I need a context for links and some more space for corresponding notes.

So, as you already may have guessed, I also quitted that service. Don’t need it.
