dankantor:
Obviously we’ve all heard the news- Yahoo is sunsetting Delicious. This hits close to home for me having been on the original team (pre-yahoo).
Not knowing what Yahoo will end up doing, I thought to take matters into my own hands. I was up late last night working on a Chrome extension that will easily export my bookmarks out of Delicious and import them into Chrome, organized by tag....
But really for me we wouldn’t be here if we didn’t have the fans supporting us...

It’s somewhat embarrassing for me that my wife actually had a twitter account before I did. Of course, I’ve now tweeted roughly 8 jillion times more than her, so I win. It did take me a while to figure out how to make Twitter work for me- but when I did, I was hooked and never looked back, even writing an article on Etsy’s blog on how sellers might use Twitter.

extensionfm:
MG Siegler just wrote an awesome post of our V2 launch for Techcrunch.
“If I want to be hip to what’s new, I rely on my social graph to recommend things. And exfm is maybe the perfect tool for that.”
