Yahoo! Isn't Going to Shut Down Delicious... They'll Just Sell It
After all the hysteria about Delicious yesterday the company finally speaks up and denies it's shutting down the popular social bookmarking site. Did they have a change of heart after the fierce reaction?
After an uproar yesterday regarding leaked information that Yahoo! was planning to shutdown the much loved social bookmarking service Delicious, the San Francisco company finally responded in a blog post today, saying that Delicious will in fact not be shutdown. The post comes almost 24 hours after a leaked internal slide showed the Yahoo web property Delicious would be “sunset” along with a number of other services. The news of shutdown spread like wildfire and was confirmed by several technology blogs, but a statement from Yahoo! was nowhere to be found until today.
Messages boards and Twitter conversations were abuzz about Yahoo’s recent troubles in light of the company’s recent layoffs and strategic repositioning of services and products.
