Submissions should be articles of medium length or longer. As in, it should take you 5 minutes or more to read it. Article series’ would also qualify.

An interesting post going over the history of the social bookmarking site Delicious.

It’s not comprehensive as it was mainly for the author’s own research, but it’s a compelling read all the same imo.

(Sorry if this eventually appears again, tried posting this awhile ago when lemmy.world was having federation issues and it never went through.)

Wow, there's a name I haven't heard in a long time, I think that just unlocked a core memory for me. While I didn't use del.icio.us heavily, I did feel like there was something super useful about it. In a way it felt way more web 2.0 than Facebook ever did, a true utility.
