Now answers to questions like "how many users did Delicious actually have over its convoluted lifetime?" are at my fingertips.pic.twitter.com/VBQ1M7Gp33
If you stored sensitive data in http://del.icio.us a dozen years ago, well, I bought it from some random SEO dude for about the price of a nice car, and now I'm tweeting it to the world for laughs. Contact me for a privacy pricing plan!
Knowing how these systems work, stuff you deleted is probably in a deleted_bookmarks table. Stuff you did not consent to transfer from Yahoo to AVOS is probably in a consent_pending table. Winching myself further down into the data mine now.
The thing I really want to know is, what happened to the Friendster data? Whoever owns it has a blackmail gold mine on the 40-50 year old nerd cohort that actually has some money now.
