Del.icio.us Imports


del.icio.us: do you have anything to declare?

This is what I like to hear. I have to say, I’ve been a del.icio.us addict more and more recently. So easy to use and the whole “cross-browser” ease of it makes life so damn simple.

Del.icio.usWe’ve just rolled out our import tool. You can now import your existing bookmarks from Firefox, IE, Safari, Opera, or anything that supports the traditional Netscape bookmark file format. If you like, we can even give you a bit of a jump-start by automatically applying the most popular tags. To try it out, click on “settings”, then “import”.

For most users the import is pretty quick. If you have a large number of browser bookmarks it might take some time to process; once it starts, you can leave the import page and come back later to check the status.

We took our time on this one because we wanted to make sure that your privacy was protected. After all, your browser bookmarks and favorites have been private up till now, and nobody wants to see all those Brangelina articles you saved, anyway. So when you import your bookmarks into del.icio.us we will mark everything as “not shared”. You are free to share them at any time – in fact, we encourage you to do so. Sharing is really what this site is about, after all.

BTW, anyone want to build their own search engine?
