The blogosphere seems to think Yahoo! is going to axe del.icio.us so I've knocked together a quick Python script to get my data out - 2317 occasionally annotated bookmarks. To use: make sure you've got Python first (!), download and install BeatifulSoup (navigate to the dir with setup.py, run python setup.py install), download the script and rename it to souper.py, get your del.icio.us bookmarks 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 original bookmarks file and the same data in Turtle (7599 triples).

The Twitterati seem to be moving en masse to Pinboard, which has a sign-up fee of $7.42 but seems to have got good reviews.

I've just added a quick feature here so that if you go to a URI of the form /feed/tag/{TAG} it will produce an RSS 1.0 (RDF) feed for that tag. So hopefully /feed/tag/rdf will now be everything tagged "rdf".

PS. Silly me mistyped the above, so went back and started coding up item editing (as yet unimplemented)...then realised I'd already set things up so that if I post something with the same title on the same day it will already overwrite the previous entry (all the triples hanging off that URI). Heh.
