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!
