不小心逛到 money.cnn.com 上看到這條消息，
Del.icio.us 的創立人 Joshua Schachter 證實了 New York-based start-up 網站上面的報導。
另一方面Yahoo的女性發言人也證實了這筆交易已在星期五拍板定案。
至於財務上面的條件雙方都說還沒『橋好』...
打字太慢英文又爛 ，先po上來獻醜， ~embarass:
我的重點是 『Del.icio.us』 這個域名，好記又有創意！
原來 domain name 也可以這樣子玩！
這種把dn 用三層組合方式來表現，真的是他老師的厲害。 ~youarebe:
印象中站上好像有哪位大大提過這檔事？

Yahoo to gobble up Del.icio.us
Site allows sharing of favorite Web pages; marks second buy of site with user-contributed content.

SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Yahoo Inc., the world's largest Internet media site, had agreed to acquire Del.icio.us, a popular Web site that helps users share links to their favorite Web sites, the site's founder said Friday.
Joshua Schachter, the founder of Del.icio.us, confirmed a posting on the New York-based start-up's site that the company had been acquired by Yahoo (Research). A Yahoo spokeswoman confirmed that the agreement to buy Del.icio.us had closed Friday.
Financial terms were not disclosed, both parties said.
"We are joining forces to build my vision of creating a way for people to remember things together," Schachter told Reuters in a phone interview. "It is a shared memory site."
Del.icio.us provides a simple way for hundreds of thousands of Web users to share and categorize their favorite Web page bookmarks as Web pages.
It is considered one of the leading examples of the "Web 2.0" phenomenon which refers to a new generation of collaborative sites that has grown up on the Web in recent years that depend on user-contributed information.
The acquisition of Del.icio.us marks the second major acquisition by Yahoo of a leading "social networking" site. Sunnyvale, California-based Yahoo acquired popular photo sharing site Flickr earlier in 2005.
Del.icio.us has only nine employees. Venture backers include Union Square Capital, Amazon.com (Research) and BV Capital, among others. Some 300,000 users have shared more than 10 million of their favorite links to Web sites, Schachter said.
As a sideline to his day job at New York investment bank Morgan Stanley, the Web developer has been responsible for creating two cult crazes on the Internet.
Schachter was co-developer of Memepool, a kind of daily diary of links to interesting Web sites that has been running since 1998.
He graduated from Carnegie Mellon with an electrical engineering degree in 1996, according to his personal site. Schachter plans to move to Sunnyvale to join Yahoo's search products group, the same division where Flickr is based.
