I don't even need sync, honestly. I just want the features of delicious, and I want to be able to trust that it won't go down. The features I care most about:
1. good browser integration - even through bookmarklets
2. good tagging system
3. ability to search my own stuff like http://www.delicious.com/philfreo/git+tutorial
4. ability to search lots of other peoples bookmarks
5. reliable
6. portability (so I know I can export and move elsewhere)
I've signed up for Pinboard, it has most of what you want - 3 is http://pinboard.in/u:philfreo/t:git/t:tutorial. What concerns me is the 4, due to the proverbial "network effects", delicious was so good for searching others' bookmarks because so many people were using it. I'm afraid there won't be a clearcut "winner" that everyone uses, the "go to" place to look for links.

Basically, I want delicious to stay alive...
