Do people still use Delicious? I thought everybody left after the horrendous redesign...
In any case, Pinboard.in is all around better, so I guess the redesign had it's upside.

I don't have many friends on Delicious, and no friends with really similar interests, so the social network aspect is not worth much to me. HN has lots of reasonably bright and knowledgeable users, so the comments are worth something to me. It's the classic private vs public dichotomy in social networks.
If Delicious could somehow mix in some of the forum aspect that HN has, it could become enormously valuable to me. If it let me read and participate in discussions like HN, but focused on the areas i am specifically interested in (more Rust, less Bitcoin), it would replace HN in an instant.
For me, pinboard is bookmarks that I don't have to synch, and have automatically available at home, work or wherever.
