This is a follow up to my post a few days back about the acquisition of del.icio.us by Yahoo!. Since this acquisition, the site seems to be down more than up. I’ve seen various error messages displayed on the site including the most recent one which blames the issue on power outages. C’mon Yahoo!, I understand that there are uncontrolable circumstances that can take a site down, but I’m begining to become sceptacle of all the excuses. Without bookmarks, what is a web geek supposed to do! This is the first time in a long long while that I’ve missed using my browser to store my bookmarks. Hopefully, these are just temporary switchover glitches, otherwise I might have to start using some other social bookmarking site like Furl. Del.icio.us is an immensly useful application with a powerful concept behind it, but in terms of technical implementation its not rocket science and there are tons of other social bookmarking sights just like del.icio.us. My advice to the administrators of del.icio.us is to get it back up and running before users decide to go with a more stable solution.
