Another good idea gets bought. Much like the flickr deal, this one makes sense. Unlike the flickr deal, we shouldn't hear a lot of whining from existing users. Yahoo is unlikely to start charging for bookmarking service, instead working to integrate it into all their other services. And the backing of a BigCo like the Y! means delicious is likely to be around for a long time, so I don't have to worry about my bookmarks disappearing one day.

Yahoo! buys del.icio.us

Yahoo! has bought social bookmarking site del.icio.us for an undisclosed amount. Joshua Schachter posted an announcement to the del.icio.us blog and mentions Yahoo!'s ability to help del.icio.us scale and keep pace with it's growing user base and site usage. Jeremy Zawodny welcomed the del.icio.us team on the Yahoo! Search blog and notes Yahoo! properties My Web and Flickr are natural matches for Joshua and del.icio.us.
