An interview with Delicious' new owner suggested that AVOS' vision of the site does not--and will not--mesh with fandom's needs. As fan [[runpunkrun]] said: Our new digital overlord, Chad Hurley, gave an interview in which he complained about how things just got so ''hard'' when people were using Delicious to save ''links'' and ''tags'' and ''information''. So he put a stop to it. <ref>[http://runpunkrun.livejournal.com/320653.html Batman hates it when Web 2.0 gets in the way of his bookmarking.] (Accessed Oct. 11, 2011)</ref>
The offending Q&A:
:How is this different from the original Delicious?
:It became hard when people were adding all this information, tags and links. We’re applying a new layer of ways for people to explore the information. Relating to YouTube terms, playlists were an underappreciated feature of the site, and we saw an opportunity to introduce that concept in a broader sense against all media. <ref>[http://allthingsd.com/20110926/delicious-relaunches-tonight-exclusive-qa-with-ceo-chad-hurley/ Delicious Relaunches: Exclusive Q&A With CEO Chad Hurley] (Accessed Oct. 11, 2011)</ref>
The initial version of AVOS Delicious did not include tag bundles. Many kink meme, comment fic sites and newsletter communities relied on the bundles to organize the tags for creating or organizing their content. Some communities immediately switched to other sites, even though they did not offer the tag bundle feature either, often because other features or functionality was missing.

Fannish interest in general focused on Diigo and Pinboard as alternatives. The quick and positive interest by the Pinboard owner, Maciej Ceglowski, in fannish users led to the creation of a collaborative GoogleDoc spec request for features he could implement to make Pinboard more attractive to fans.<ref>[http://anatsuno.dreamwidth.org/974371.html Pinboard feature request - wishlist!] (Accessed September 30, 2011)</ref> The result was a document he described in a Tweet: "Watching that epic Google doc grow a table of contents.

The inevitable result of the Twitter conversations, and some comments in the GoogleDoc itself, was some [[Anthropormorfic]]. [http://archiveofourown.org/works/258626 The Morning After] by [[ambyr]] pairs Fandom/Pinboard and leaves Delicious out in the cold with Diigo.
