Delicious may be shutting down. Here’s how to migrate to Licorize

with 2 comments

Licorize imports your bookmarks from Delicious / Instapaper/ Firefox / Chrome / Safari / Opera / Internet Explorer. You can also sync them with Read It Later. Here we will explain in detail how to migrate from Delicious to Licorize.

To migrate your bookmarks requires first that you export them from Delicious to another format. Here is a video showing the entire migration process:

Export Your Delicious Bookmarks to HTML file

To export your data, log into Delicious, and click on the Settings link at the top-right:

You probably want to include at least the tags.

You could also take the opportunity for exporting a subset of your bookmarks (filtering only those with certain tags – select the last checkbox) in order to restart with a manageable set.

Click “export”, and you will obtain an HTML file readable from any browser, and also by Licorize.

Import bookmarks in Licorize

First log in Licorize.  To launch the imports click on “tools” in the top menu and then on “Import/export bookmarks”:

Getting:

Select “Import” and you’ll get to:

Here you can upload your file with your Delicious bookmarks:

Browse and then click on “load the file”. Once the upload is completed, the import will start. You will not see all the bookmarks (with tags and all) immediately, but it should not take too much. It may take a bit more to have all the thumbnails for those bookmarks (an additional service that Licorize provides).

That’s it – now Licorize will help you put together ideas, projects, to-dos, filtered presentations and more from your bookmark collection.

  1. [...] Bookmarks vanuit Delicious overzetten naar Evernote kan (thnx, Henk Schuiteman), maar de tags komen dan niet mee en je krijgt één grote note in Evernote met alle bookmarks. Niet zo handig lijkt me. Van Jaap Walhout kreeg ik Diigo aangereikt. Daar worden bij het importeren uit Delicious de tags wèl meegenomen. Ik stond al bijna op het punt om een Diigo account aan te maken toen @robicch me vertelde dat ”http://licorize.com is easier” en ook hoe je daar dan je Delicious bookmarks importeert. [...]

  2. [...] Licorize does a full import from Delicious, whose plugin seemingly does not work yet with Firefox 4, you could migrate [...]
