[extropy-chat] Yahoo buys del.icio.us

[Giu1i0 Pri5c0]

As a del.icio.us user (id pgptag <http://del.icio.us/pgptag>) I have found
very interesting today's news of the acquisition of del.icio.us by Yahoo. I
am happy to see that a good idea and a lot of hard work to make it happen
has been rewarded, and I am sure Yahoo has enough resources to keep
del.icio.us alive, improve it, and scale it to support many more users. At
the same time, I am worried to see an independent and innovative provider
swallowed by one of the Big Three.
Wired News<http://www.wired.com/news/technology/0,1282,69802,00.html?tw=rss.TOP>:
"In its latest acquisition of a social networking service, internet
powerhouse Yahoo on Friday chomped down on del.icio.us, a startup that
enables people to more easily compile and share their favorite content on
the web". See also the del.icio.us blog
entry<http://blog.del.icio.us/blog/2005/12/yahoo.html#comments>with
many comments from users.
