Web Dev Ireland

I came into work this morning and wanted to read something that I had spotted last night and had put into my del.icio.us page (as I have done on countless occasions before).
I tried to logon and got this message.

Delicious is down for planned maintenance. We’re doing some database rearranging so we can release new features next week. We expect to be down from Midnight till 4am (Pacific) and will be posting updates on our blog.

I miss del.icio.us

I find it hard to believe that such a huge service should ever have to close down to do some upgrades, but that is the way of things with a free service.

Does anyone else have an free online service they could not live without?
