Comment on Pinboard Turns Sevenparent

Pinboard has apparently been involved in at least semi-serious talks to buy Delicious, according to the @Pinboard twitter. I believe he'd do it, too.

Surely that would just take time and energy away from more important things like the burrito tunnel project.

For anyone unfamiliar with one of the most important engineering/infrastructure projects ever built:

That doesn't make sense. I can't see anything Delicious could offer Pinboard, aside from the domain name.

I really hope that doesn't happen. Pinboard is perfect.

It's a bunch of users.

It's a bunch of bots.

i believe delicious is free so you'd still need to convince those users to switch to a paying model.

Nah, the transfer would generate a bunch of headlines, which in turn would translate into a bunch of new signups. I suspect Pinboard's signup spike graph is like a seismograph of Big Bookmarking's asshattery moments.

Pinboard buys Delicious, reverts to del.icio.us culture, hires @joshu
