Yahoo! Buys del.icio.us
HellSpam writes "The developers at del.icio.us have announced that they were purchased by Yahoo!. From the post: 'We're proud to announce that del.icio.us has joined the Yahoo! family. Together we'll continue to improve how people discover, remember and share on the Internet, with a big emphasis on the power of community. We're excited to be working with the Yahoo! Search team - they definitely get social systems and their potential to change the web. (We're also excited to be joining our fraternal twin Flickr!)'" For background on this purchase, carre4 writes "Stuart Maxwell, Jeff Barr, and Yahoo! team's Jeremy Zawodny recently did an interview explaining What's so cool about del.icio.us, in which Jeremy gave a non-committal answer about Yahoo acquiring del.ico.us"
Looks like you got bitten by the same Slashdot bug that got me a day ago. You thought you were posting to the new top article on Slashdot, and by the time you hit Submit you found out that you've posted to the even newer top article on Slashdot.
THERE'S A BUG HERE FOLKS IN SLASHDOT'S POSTING CODE!

Don't worry. I have no plan to buy Microsoft.

Do they have a nice way to import del.icio.us data? I want to switch. I'm not sticking with sellouts - and that's what I consider it. Come on - delicious goes to Yahoo! MySpace goes to FOX! -- anything worth anything gets bought up by the traditional conglomerates for half a billion dollars and the guy who originated the projects goes off to.. do whatever..
If I wanted to use Yahoo! services, I'd already BE using them. Thanks.
