Problem

All my bookmarks are stored at Furl.net and I would like to migrate them all to del.icio.us in one single step. I think this is a good idea, after all because del.icio.us was acquired by Yahoo some days ago and faces a great future .

Solution

Step 1 – Export Bookmarks from furl

First of all export your bookmarks to Mozilla/Netscape bookmarks format.

Step 2 – Download Perl Script

Download the delicious-import.pl Perl script from there.

Step 3 – Import Bookmarks to del.icio.us

Run the script with the following parameters:

./delicious-import.pl -x -j -z -u my_username -p my_pwd exportBookmark.html

If you want to take a try run just omit parameter ‘x’ (execute). Param ‘j’ and ‘z’ are for generating tags from keywords and folders.
