Yahoo purchases del.icio.us

From the del.icio.us blog (via TechCrunch):

We’re proud to announce that del.icio.us has joined the Yahoo! family. Together we’ll continue to improve how people discover, remember and share on the Internet, with a big emphasis on the power of community. We’re excited to be working with the Yahoo! Search team - they definitely get social systems and their potential to change the web. (We’re also excited to be joining our fraternal twin Flickr!)

Congratulations to Joshua Schachter and the rest at del.icio.us.

Yahoo is looking more clued in than Google every day.
