RIP Simpy

Yikes, unbeknownst to me, around March-April 2010 of this year my bookmarking service of choice, Simpy, was shutdown and Reuters now uses the URL for news.

Clearly I wasn’t using it much (as it took me 8 months to notice, and in fact I had been using Google Bookmarks, but was very unhappy with that as well.

But I did have roughly a thousand bookmarks at Simpy which are now lost.

I noticed it now, because I am in the process of migrating to Xmarks, now that they are owned by LastPass, which will hopefully give them some stability.

Some other bookmarking services that seem to be doing ok presently:

netvouz
diigo
