I was using diigo for fandom purposes (and delicious for everything, including fannish things crossposted from diggo). Now I'm using pinboard on top, which pulls in stuff from delicious (hence pulls in the stuff that's on del through diggo) AND from readitlater AND from twitter AND from Instapaper. It fills me with joy and rightness. :)

It seems like most people have opted to shell out for pinboard. It sounds like it'll make a decent holdover until if/when the fannish not-delicious gets off the ground. Thanks!

I, um, still haven't done anything about delicious. I will probably get a diigo account eventually but for the moment I'm still just using delicious.

Yeah, me too, but [personal profile] charmian's latest post makes me think that I should, ASAP. To the fannish hive-brain!

Answer: A book I have not read, which I hear they are twisting into a POTC movie.

The movie will be so much better than the book, no lie.

That really doesn't make me want to read the book, ever.

(I have such a love/hate thing going on with the movies. You can probably guess which parts I hate.)

Don't read the book! I will never get those six hours of my life back.

Of course, I was at work at the time, so I really can't complain.

I will be sure not to!

I suppose I should say that I was already biased against Powers for having read and been unimpressed by The Anubis Gates in high school, but really, On Stranger Tides is just boring, as well as being offensive.
