Yahoo Buys Del.icio.us
Sarah Perez on December 10th, 2005
Yahoo! has just bought del.icio.us, a startup that enables people to more easily compile and share their favorite content on the web, in other words, a social bookmarking service. Del.icio.us already boasts 300,000 users (myself included), and now with the Yahoo! acquistion, that number will surely grow. Other recent Yahoo! buys include flickr and upcoming.org, an event planning service. It seems as if Yahoo! is positioning itself to be a web 2.0 powerhouse.

and for some reasons today I feel remarkably fine
While I love flickr and use it regularly, it was the biggest pain when Yahoo bought them out, they changed site so you had to use a stupid yahoo ID to log in. You just know they are going to do this with del.icio.us.
