The site will stay online. but on June 15, I will put Delicious into read-only mode. You won't be able to save new bookmarks after that date, or use the API." https://del.icio.us/export "We're sorry, but due to heavy load on our database we are no longer able to offer an export function. Our engineers are working on this and we will restore it as soon as possible."


If you read further…

"Those who prefer to bookmark elsewhere will be able to export their data once I fix the export link, which was disabled some months ago for peformance reasons.

Please note that there is no time pressure for moving off Delicious."


That's probably some cruft from the previous owners. Considering Maciej's vocal commitment to an open web, I'm sure he'll be implementing a functional export and direct port-to-pinboard soon. This announcement does seem oddly slapdash, though....why not wait a few weeks to announce once this stuff is in place?


Also from the blog post:

The RSS feed URLs have been 404ing as well for at least two months.
