Just did that sign-up thing a few minutes ago. I briefly considered filling in "Fyr" and "Drakken" for my name (which I've done before on previous accounts) but wasn't sure if the name would be publicly displayed or not.
All my bookmarks are private anyway (or they should be, at any rate, though some of the older ones weren't and I kind of lost interest partway through the process of culling through the old bookmarks to correct tags and eliminate the dead links), so I'm not particularly bothered by this as compared to the great convenience of still having a working Delicious for my bookmarks. If this makes the Delicious Blackberry app start working again, I'm probably going to applaud the change. (Or not, since I've already converted over to using Tumblr for refinding the links I run across mobile browsing on Twitter or Facebook, and I'm a lot better about coming back in a day or two and actually dealing with them there, what with not being able to let Tumblr go unchecked longer than a weekend without having an unbelievable amount to wade through.)
So, anyway, I hadn't been able to find a bookmarking application that did what I'd been using Delicious for (though a large part of that is probably down to my own specific issue of wanting to be able to bookmark things I find on my Blackberry in a way I'll be able to access them on a computer later), though I'd been having the thought to use Google Chrome's bookmark-synching function instead. Kept postponing owing to wanting to finish culling my Delicious bookmarks first before importing them, and I didn't get around to it, etc. EverNote I think was one of the ones I briefly experimented with, and there were a few others I couldn't get to work, either, due to the way their servers got whomped when the news of Delicious' presumed shutdown hit.
Oh, hey, I just went to my Delicious account page and got into Settings and one of the new options is "Edit Public Profile" and I was able to unclick the box and tell it my display name is to be "FyrDrakken." (The default setting was for my first name only, at least.)
