'''Delicious''' is a social bookmarking service that allows users to save, tag, manage and share bookmarks from a centralized source. A significant aspect of the site is that, like many Web 2.0 sites, its tags are user-generated, non-hierarchical, and uncontrolled. Users create and apply their own tags in one step, and they can apply as many tags as they like to each bookmark.

In the mid to late 2000s, Delicious was probably the most popular social bookmarking service, both among fanfic fans and everyone else. However, Delicious's reign ended in September 2011 when the new company that had bought it relaunched the site with an unfinished redesign. Even after functionality was restored, the redesign made Delicious less useful to many of its former users.

==Fannish Migrations==
For many [[LiveJournal]] fans, Delicious represented a better solution to some existing link-hoarding practices, such as hand-coding lists of recs in LJ posts or using LJ's cumbersome Memory function. In general, the convenience of Delicious encouraged a shift from posting rec lists on [[fansite]]s and blogs.
The site relaunch in September 2011 (see below) resulted in fanfic fandom migrating away from Delicious, initially to [[Diigo]] and [[Pinboard]]. However, the net result was an overall decrease in the importance of social bookmarking to fandom, even as some individual fans continued bookmarking privately either on Delicious or elsewhere. 2015 [[Fail_Fandomanon]] discussions included accounts of anons' post-delicious bookmarking adventures: [https://fail-fandomanon.dreamwidth.org/154487.html?thread=824110967#cmt824110967 2015-08-19], [https://fail-fandomanon.dreamwidth.org/156376.html?thread=835076056#cmt835076056 2015-08-29]
Possibly relevant is that the disastrous site change occurred during the same period that fans were migrating from LiveJournal to [[AO3]] and [[Tumblr]]. AO3 has a bookmark function, and [[rec]] posts are popular on Tumblr.

===Subscriptions===
The Network is a good way to find new content, but Subscriptions allow a broader scope. A user may subscribe to a certain tag, such as "fanfiction", and will then see all recently bookmarked websites tagged with that term.
