Furl's Sick

Furl hasn't been saving web pages for me for a few days. I hope it's just a server problem or some kind of upgrade. What I hope didn't happen is someone pulled the plug. For years I had been collecting web pages for posting to TAM in its own bookmark folder in my browser. That folder had gotten unwieldly. There are easily a few hundred bookmarks in there. It's daunting wading through them looking for that one item I'm inspired to post on at the moment. Another thing is these bookmarks are tied to a single computer. With Furl I can get to them when I'm posting from my desktop machine or when I'm out and about with my notebook. Plus, readers can subscribe to the RSS feed to see what's caught my eye but hasn't deserved a full-blown weblog post. I really need to get a link to that feed permanently on TAM. What I should also do is insert the feed into a sidebar.

UPDATE: I'm using [RSS] del.icio.us now. It doesn't save web pages like Furl does did, but it's faster. Now, is there a way to import my Furl links into del.icio.us using RSS?
