Yahoooooo! Yahoo! purchased del.icio.us today. The search giant bought Flickr not long ago, and the reviews of the new Flickr have been mixed. Wonder what this will do to Del.icio.us?

Yahoo officials didn't disclose how much it paid for Delicious because it wasn't expensive enough to have a significant impact on its finances.

If it makes it look better I'm all for it. That is one ugly, albeit useful, site.

UPDATE: Estimated price is anywhere from 17M to 40M. I think that's significant enough to report. Geesh!
