Delicious link dump

Online bookmarking site Delicious is shutting down. There are ways to export your bookmarks from Delicious, and several comparable bookmarking services. I wasn't that heavy a user, so I'm just posting here those sites I still want to be able to find again, many of which were optimistically tagged "to blog."
