This is a good one! After doing a fresh install of my good ol' Windows 7 Home, i took IE out for a stroll to download one of my top 5 favorite programs (FARR). After waiting a while for it to finish downloading, IE tells me that it could be a dangerous program for it is not commonly downloaded?! I couldn't install it straight from IE but did manager to find the Download folder and install it. Of course, this happened prior to installing my AV program but still! What a... shinanigan! Long live Firefox!

Goccha! Diigolet isn't that bad! Of course, Firefox was their first baby so it's hard for them to replicate their toolbar for every other browser (though they seem to be courting G Chrome quite a bit lately).
btw, i've also got a diploma in philosophy; not sure what that's worth these days.

Don't know if that happens to you, but until recently, i'd get not just those "lame bookmarks" that MilesAhead spoke of, but also a whole slew of duplicates (sync online process). With latest versions, the sync process seems to have improved.
Wonder why Opera installs those "lame bookmarks"? Are they getting money for this publicity?

Ya, of all places!  Reminds me of IBM who had come out with a super performing computer a few years back. Apparently it could make impeccable weather forecasts. The next day, an unforeseen wet front came in, dumping in plenty of rain that the new computer failed to pick up. We do our best but computers will never be perfect.

del.icio.us - thanks for the correction Allen!
I had high hopes with Spurl but i guess they had issues with spammers and hackers?
Diigo is handy and after so many years, an ol' timer like myself needs to be more than convinced in order to change games.
Newcomers will likely be the main ones to find their way to Pinboard rather than people who have been used other bookmarking services for years. There may be a new wave of Delicious users since it has been recently (finally!) sold by Yahoo.
p.s. was this there yesterday? Pinboard is charging $9.33 for new accounts?

Hadn't heard of Pinboard before either. Where was it hidding?
When Diigo came out, it had to contend with established biggies like Delicious.us and Furl. Since then Furl is no more and Delicious, well... Diigo has come a long way and seems to be pretty well no.1
Spurl (r.i.p.) looked quite promising at the time. Will this Pinboard be a serious contender? Time will tell, but it's simplicity and speed may find a big fan club.

JavaJones, What about the latest emails that were perhaps permanently lost by GMail?  I've been backing up mine to another email account since the beginning but it's not the same thing as having them in my regular GMail account. With Thunderbird (never liked the Bat, especially for lack of support) i suppose you can bring them all back (if your backup account allows free access, in my case Yahoo). Thus, it is still a handy option to upkeep.
