A few months back, I switched from Furl to Del.icio.us (username: budtheteacher). I wasn’t eager to make the move, as I’ve always liked Furl, but newer versions of Firefox didn’t handle the Furl toolbar as well as I liked. Also, working from multiple computers with different levels of user access required that I find a few different ways to access my bookmarks. The multiple Del.icio.us Firefox extensions helped. (I also really like the feature in Del.icio.us that allows me to send a link to someone else. That’s just neat.)
Does anyone know of a good way to move all of my Furl bookmarks into my Del.icio.us account?
Thanks in advance.

I used to use furl a lot, but del.icio.us is just so easy! I hope someone can answer your question because I would like consolidate all my stuff, too!

I’m sorry to leave what may be an unhelpful comment. I don’t know the answer to your question.
However, I just added diigo to my set of online tools. It lets you archive pages like Furl, but also highlight and annotate with sticky-notes. An added benefit? You can simultaneously add your links to other bookmarking systems (like del.icio.us) on the fly.
Still no help with that Furl import though …

Hi Bud,
Since del.icio.us won’t take XML imports, could you export your Furl bookmarks in the “IE Bookmarks” format and then upload it to del.icio.us?
As a long-time Furler, I haven’t really made the switch to anything else, so I don’t know if this would work or not.

Write to Amit Upadhyay . He has developed some python-based tools for Furl->Delicious transfer.
