Information today leaked out detailing Yahoo's plans to close bookmarking service Delicious, one of the old-school Web 2.0 companies and a favorite of many writers and those who make their living on the web.  The site launched all the way back in 2003.  I'm a long-time user, so I was sad to see this news.

Fortunately, you can save all of your bookmarks. At Delicious, click settings, and scroll down to 'Export/Backup Bookmarks.' On the next screen, make sure you set your tags and notes as included, click export (this may take a while depending on how many bookmarks you have), and the site will save everything to a standard HTML file.

Not sure when it will shut down, but be prepared.
