Social bookmarking website del.icio.us just announced today that they’ve been purchased by Yahoo!. As you can see by the comments on the del.icio.us blog there are mixed reactions. Many congratulations for their “big payday”, and quite a few unhappy readers who are making plans to find a new web-based bookmarking utility.
I’ve had a del.icio.us account for a while, but haven’t used it much. They just recently released an official Firefox extension and I’ve used it more since installing said extension. I’m not too hip on the “traditional” method of adding bookmarks, but this extension makes it much more friendly. It will be interesting to watch how Y! ingests this morsel. I’m looking forward to seeing how they couple del.icio.us and Flickr.
