Have you seen the mess they've made of Delicious?
I thought I'd look through the list of bloggers registered with CPD23 and I couldn't search them using the tags. I even tried my own personal list and tags are gone along with some sites!
And then I saw this blog post from Phil Bradley. Yep, it looks like it's not just me, it's thousands of us in the same boat. I'm lucky in some ways that I haven't been relying on just Delicious, but mainly use Xmarks. This is sync-ed with my PC at home (where I use Firefox) and I can also log in at work to the Xmarks website.
Here we are though, relying on these wonderful pieces of software where everything is hosted externally (and not using up space on our own hard drives), making it easy for us to access the information wherever we are... Perhaps the web 2.0 world is just moving too quickly? I'm not saying don't embrace web 2.0 technologies, but perhaps we're just relying on them all a tad too much?
What do you think? Do you think we have the right as account holders to have a say in how these sites should be developed? (Particularly in the case of Delicious and possibly Facebook, when they have so many users and hold so much of our personal information.)
