One of my favourite, Del.icio.us gets bought out

Oh, so you have heard it all by now that Yahoo bought Del.icio.us. Congratulations to all who were involved. Who would have thought that Del.icio.us which had to good UI and such a simple tool as such would be bought out by Yahoo when it first came out. Yesterday, when I turned my computer ON, the buzz on the Internet was all about this deal. Check this memeorandum page and Del.cio.us blog entry here. What will this mean for users? 1. It will be integrated (or should be) with Yahoo login, so one less login ID to remember 2. You might see it integrated with more of Yahoo products and services 3. You might even see link to Del.icio.us straight from Yahoo Search page. At the moment it has a link where we can save straight to My Web. I haven't used My Web a lot, just because I am more comfortable using Google Search History. I like the services and products offered by Yahoo, but haven't really taken on any except Yahoo chat which I have been using it for years now and quite a few of my friends are on there and lately have started using Yahoo Podcasts site. I have been using Del.icio.us a lot lately and will still continue using it. So now since Yahoo bought Del.icio.us, I can say that I use few of Yahoo Services. Talking of Del.icio.us, I would like to have a feature where we can just make some of the bookmarks we make private. I have been wanting it for a while and if I get it, then I will ditch bookmarks for ever I think :). Technorati Tags: , , ,
