If like myself you wish Delicious allowed for ‘private by default’ bookmarking, look no further than Pinboard. Its price will increase as more users register (number of users * $0.001), so the sooner the better if you’re interested. I think it was worth the $4.07 as it works fluidly and feels just right.
