→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 either on Delicious or elsewhere. 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.
