I said I was comparing Delicious w. bit.ly, but gave no bit.ly figures; & then compared Delicious 2010 w. Delicious 2011. But now I've done a 4-way comparison, which I won't open a spreadsheet for. Figures refer to additions to the sites in June-July of the years in question.<br /><br />Delicious 2010 23 <br />Delicious 2011 10<br />bit.ly 2010 95<br />bit.ly 2011 38<br /><br />So my bit.ly use has dwindled at roughly the same rate as my Delicious use.<br /><br />Is there significance in the proportion between my use of the two sites? In both years I'm using bit.ly about 4 times as much as Delicious. There's some difference between the kinds of thing that I put in the two places -- Delicious with the longer articles, bit.ly with logins, short information pieces, &c. -- but that's an impression, not based on a detailed count.<br /><br />Anyone like to compare comparisons?Aidan Bakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15804901032011139096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3416306269810335232.post-45491193629536360512011-08-10T19:43:30.729+02:002011-08-10T19:43:30.729+02:00Not yet, but I'm looking forward to trying it ...Not yet, but I'm looking forward to trying it out!

I haven't used Delicious before, but use the favourites function on Twitter to 'star' the links I want to read later - I used to catch up with all of these fairly often but lately the list is just growing and growing!
