The blogosphere seems to think Yahoo! is going to axe <a href="http://www.delicious.com/">del.icio.us</a> so I've knocked together a <a href="http://dannyayers.com/stuff/souper.txt">quick Python script</a> to get <a href="http://www.delicious.com/danja">my data</a> out - 2317 occasionally annotated bookmarks. To use: make sure you've got Python first (!), download and install <a href="http://www.crummy.com/software/BeautifulSoup/">BeatifulSoup</a> (navigate to the dir with setup.py, run python setup.py install), download the script and rename it to souper.py, get <a href="https://secure.delicious.com/settings/bookmarks/export">your del.icio.us bookmarks</a> and rename to delicious.html. Then run python souper.py delicious.html > delicious.ttl and there you have the Turtle.
I've not checked the output particularly thoroughly, but I think it's ok (one shortcut I made was that any bookmarks that couldn't be converted to ASCII would get ignored). Here's my <a href="http://dannyayers.com/stuff/delicious.html">original bookmarks file</a> and the same data in <a href="http://dannyayers.com/stuff/delicious.ttl">Turtle</a> (7599 triples).
The Twitterati seem to be moving en masse to <a href="http://pinboard.in/">Pinboard</a>, which has a sign-up fee of $7.42 but seems to have got good reviews.
