Anyone want to do a weekend hackathon with me and build a replacement? We could probably capitalize on delocios shutting down to get some traction.

Today I put together a WordPress plugin/theme to import delicious bookmarks and make them browsable at http://b.cuppster.com/ and a little write up at http://goo.gl/7lus7
Anyone interested in me posting this code? turning it into a collab. project?
I'm writing a Wordpress plugin right now to import del. bookmarks. Stop gap, but could be fun. Will do a theme to go with it...

Would you be able to scrape out all the current content or would that run into ToS barriers?
I like the idea of us taking our own bookmarks and re-importing them into a new system, then getting it to work (optionally) in a network (maybe syncing based on friend/follow relationships) on any domain we like...
I'm a Python developer in the valley. You choose a coffee shop and let's get hacking.

This sounds interesting, and I'm starting my winter break at school here.

Cool. Do you have skills? Shoot me an email.
While I wouldn't want to discourage hacking and alternatives, that sounds like duplication of effort to me. What do you plan to do that http://pinboard.in/ isn't doing already?
Well how about an open and federated system - all alternative suggestions so far have been single sites owned by somebody else. If we could build a system which stores our data on our own server with the ability to connect to others then it would be far more sustainable - like status.net is to Twitter.
