Backup Twitter, Facebook, Flickr and other services with Backupify

A few years ago we didn’t have Flickr or Twitter, Facebook or even Gmail! Then came a flurry of social networking sites which allowed you to find your friends, make new ones, share photos and videos and even your every minute activities!

With that comes the risk of losing this information if the service shuts down or even worse, if your account is hacked.

Backupify

Founded about a year back as Lifestreambackup, Backupify currently supports the backup of your Flickr, Twitter, Delicious, Zoho, Google Docs, Photobucket, WordPress, Basecamp, Gmail, Facebook, Friendfeed and Blogger accounts.

Backupify offers all users a completely free Twitter backup. However to backup any other account, you’ll need to get hold of one of the paid accounts.

So, for the purpose of this post, I will explain how you can go ahead with backing up your Twitter account. Of course, you will need to signup for Backupify.

Del.icio.us is now Delicious

When Yahoo! took over del.icio.us, everyone expected an update to the same. And, sure enough, Yahoo! has not disappointed us :)

Last week Yahoo! announced the update on the delicious blog.

The biggest change is the url, viz. Delicious.com.

Delicious

Besides the new URL, Delicious.com boasts of faster pages, faster search results and a brand new look. The look definitely is a lot better the old drab look that the site had.

The navigation has been totally revamped that makes it really easy to go through most parts of the site. What would have been a welcome addition would be the use of AJAX, especially when adding friends.

Overall the update has been very useful. Now, I just need to remember to add the links I like to Delicious!

Digg Should Sue Wired?

Mike Arrington suggests that Digg Should Sue Wired over the “experiment” conducted by Wired Reporter. I disagree totally, because what she did was prove that Digg can still be gamed, despite Digg’s claims that it can’t. The argument continues…
