Bye-bye Delicious!
 
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) -- The content-sharing site Delicious may not be on Yahoo Inc.'s shrinking menu of online services much longer.

Although a final decision evidently hasn't been made, Delicious is on a list of services that Yahoo is planning to close after shedding 600 employees, or about 4 percent of its work force, earlier this week.

An internal Yahoo slide containing the endangered list was posted on the Internet Thursday. The presentation was shared through Twitter, whose popularity may be one of the reasons that Yahoo no longer prizes Delicious as much as it did five years ago when it bought the site for an undisclosed sum.

Aww....there goes a piece of my heart. Having a good domain hack myself, have to give props to one of the first domain hacks to ever become prominent, and a subdomain hack at that.

Never even heard of it. What is it ( or was it )?

writing was on the wall when they switched to delicious.com instead of the domain hack

Started as Del.icio.us, was a social bookmarking site, maybe the first one if I'm not mistaken.

wow that sucks, I still use delicious almost everyday. Hope someone buys it and keeps it running, although i can see how it can be hard to monetize it.

"close" or sell? it seems dumb to just shut it down...

exactly, im not sure why some of these companies just close down sites instead of selling them to someone. I'm sure one of the tube sites would be open to buying it :1orglaugh
