Migrating from Blinklist to Delicious.com: CSV to HTML

January 3, 2010 – 3:19 pm

Apparently blinklist doesn’t export bookmarks to JSON format any longer and delicious has changed authentication scheme for its delicious API for new accounts (now it forces new users to use the OAuth / Yahoo ID). So the solutions described in this old post of mine doesn’t work.

August 8, 2009 – 8:34 am
