Kinda hard to disagree with this:
"Today, a leak has exposed that Yahoo! plans to shut down del.icio.us because it has been identified as an “underperformer”. The Yahoo! property is one of exactly two Yahoo! properties that has any real broad value beyond ad-search monetization (the other being Flickr). It is widely used and relied upon by industry analysts, researchers, students, and scientists alike. I use it everyday. Yet, among Yahoo!’s many well-documented failures has been its inability to effectively grow and monetize its two most valuable properties – the two properties that do more to salvage the fading brand of Yahoo! than anything else it has done in the past 10 years.
But everybody knows the Yahoo! story by now. And shutting down del.icio.us is arguably a far bigger story because what it effectively says to everyone using a hosted data service is this: your data is only worth as much as our ability to monetize it. This, of course, makes sense to business. But the story that’s being sold to all of us on the user side, including the many businesses being pushed to move to the cloud and trust that Google, for example, will take care of all their enterprise data... The story we’re being sold is that we can trust the cloud and it’s masters to take care of us and to protect & preserve our information. Never mind the data breaches. Never mind the has-been web failures forever shelved and buried. Never mind the fact that your data is only valuable because hosting services can mine it and re-sell it and use it to find us anywhere. And never mind the simple, logical fact-of-business that if the service you have trusted to protect your digital life becomes a corporate under-performer, it may very well get shut down and locked away forever."

oh no I trusted delicious with all my bookmarks... I'l just move all that data over to some other service, what could possibly go wrong?

How can I export my bookmarks to some other service and retain my tags? anyone done it successfully? I already imported them to Chrome but without tags, and I rely heavy on them to find my stuff...
