I just got a look at the newly revamped Delicious. I'm stunned. The site went from the most useful tool for managing fic ever to a useless waste of bandwidth overnight. I can't tell you how many times I've used tag combinations to dig up fics for storyfinder comms. Now my tag bundles are gone, only about 1/5 of my tags are usable, and my Firefox add-on no longer works.
I'm thanking my lucky stars that I had the foresight to import all my Delicious bookmarks into Firefox when I first heard Delicious was going to be sold. I even have them tagged, and I can use either my bookmarks menu or the awesome bar to search for them. It's not the same though.
I've looked at some other social bookmarking sites, but until somebody gives me my tag bundles back, I think I'll stick with Firefox. I'm not deleting my Delicious account yet in case the new owners see the error of their ways, but I don't think I'll be adding to it anymore. Why would anyone take a uniquely useful site like that and shoot it in the foot?

Anyway all my old Delicious bookmarks are saved in Firefox, so I can do title and author searches in the awesome bar, or search by tags in the bookmark menu or the awesome bar. I can't combine tags, dang it, but that's probably going to be as good as it gets now.
