Ya!Licious… or something

Yahoo! Well, its done. Mike just posted the scoop that Joshua’s Delicious has been acquired by Yahoo!, thus joining the ranks of early acquisitions Flickr and Upcoming (two of my favorite projects on the web).

The way I see it, Yahoo!’s making all the right bets, and while a few months ago I would have said I’d take Google over Yahoo anytime, now it’s the other way around. Their approach to what to acquire and invest on has clearly surpassed my expectations, while Google’s been letting me (and many others) down with their failed projects like Google Base and the Google Reader.

Anyway, this is about Del.icio.us and Yahoo!. Congratulations, Joshua. Good luck!

    I agree, I am glad that Yahoo made this choice. I also agree that google would have not been the good choice for this.
