Do any of you happen to remember a little gem called Delicious? It was such a fantastic site back in the mid-2000s and really showcased the magic of social media in discovering and sharing awesome content.
Unfortunately, after Yahoo! acquired Delicious, it slowly fizzled out and lost its charm. The founders eventually managed to reclaim it, but it was too late to revive its former glory.
But guess what? We're in luck! A new service called Postmarks has emerged, channeling the spirit of Delicious. The exciting part is that it's federating through ActivityPub, which means social bookmarking is finally finding a home in the Fediverse!
Here's the best part: Postmarks is immune to the fate that befell Delicious at the hands of Yahoo!. If one server goes down, another will rise to take its place. Since Postmarks is built on Fediverse server software, our bookmarks will truly become a part of the digital commons.
I, for one, am absolutely thrilled about this news! If you want to know more, check out this blog post from Postmarks developer Casey Kolderup:
