Why del.icio.us sucks

That got your attention, didn’t it. Actually, it doesn’t suck at all, in fact my complaint is that I want to use del.icio.us because of all the cool tie-ins it has spawned, but I am not going to abandon 18 months worth of FURL’d links, and del.icio.us refuses to fix their import feature. There has been a message on the import page for del.icio.us for going on at least 4 months that says “Our import feature has been turned off for a few days while we fix some bugs. Sorry!” and the reply I got to my email back in November was “Should be done soon. We are removing the last final bugs.” Gee, thanks. If there is anything worse than not responding to potential customers, its responding to potential customers and lying to them.

Maybe this is what a rapid infusion of cash does to a company. Oh well, I guess this is what I get for backing the wrong horse in the first place, but sheesh, they’re only links, how hard should it be to export and then import these things? – SWL
