I’d be interested to hear what you settle in. I did the same search some time ago but couldn’t find anything that meets your criteria. I settled on simpy.com. The source isn’t available as far as I know. But it’s free as in beer, independent, has an api, and is a nice, no-nonsense social bookmarking site. (Looks ugly though.)

http://sourceforge.net/projects/scuttle/ is simply great.

Also Rubric (http://search.cpan.org/dist/Rubric/) which I have running GotNoBlog.com

I’m currently using insipid (on self-hosting), and it works great, simple with no ‘web2′ features (no javascript for example) as you want.
It seems to also exists http://sourceforge.net/projects/scuttle/ and http://sourceforge.net/projects/semanticscuttle/.

Thanks for more great suggestions!

Tasty looks interesting, but I don’t see how to create an account, so I guess it’s another option if we go the self-hosting route.

Connotea is Nature’s one – I’d heard about this before but forgotten it and didn’t find it on my search. GNU GPL, OpenID login… but now the site just went unreachable for me. Gah, what timing! I’ll check it out in more detail later.

I had a look around a while ago when del.icio.us’s interface was redesigned into unusable Web 2.0 rubbish, and didn’t find one I liked. I ended up bashing my own together with Python and SQLite that’s pretty much a clone of the old del.icio.us interface, with import and export in the same format:

Dunno if that’s of any use to you…

At one point I used Foxmarks, which worked beautifully. However, I recently discovered that Foxmarks quietly moved from the Apache license to a proprietary license and stopped providing source code.

At this point, I need a new bookmark service myself, though I don’t really care about the social aspect. I just need some way to synchronize bookmarks across systems.

Ah, for Mozilla Weave to get finished…

Now I’m using connotea. No complaints so far…

It’s not as good looking as del.icio.us, but it’s free.
