A screenshot of Yahoo's signup page

Not so delicious

Well… with a few years delay, I just wanted to sign up to del.icio.us, which is now simply called delicious.com. When Yahoo bought it, they obviously decided they didn’t want to have any more users, as you can see on the right.

I want to store some bookmarks online. period. Do they really think I’ll signup for a yahoo mail account (given that I already have a dozen accounts anyway?) Why does one need two secret questions? Secret questions are stupid in my eyes anyhow, but in times of facebook, knowing one’s mothers maiden name does not mean anything… Anyway, can somebody recommend a (good) online bookmarking service? yeah, I know, shouldn’t be too hard to find, hm? I better get some sleep… :)

    Hi Matt,
    thanks for the suggestion! Will give that a try, though I’m a bit picky when it comes to browser plugins…
