Yahoo gets del.icio.us

1. Nancy White

   Ben, I just wanted to say thank you. You and Mena have been a catalyst for a bunch of very productive conversations that have helped a lot of us make more meaning about how we communicate. But I suspect it has all been at a cost to you two.

   I have no idea how this “thing” has made you feel. I know I would not have enjoyed the kind of attention the dust up created. But you two created value. Thus the thank you.

   And I personally don’t think you are the blogosphere’s asshole, or if you are, you seem to be a quite lovable one. But alas, I don’t think you are in the Zlist club anymore. We’ll miss you there in the dust under that long tail….

   And yeah, it is pretty damned interesting about del.icio.us –

   Don’t try to change the subject, Ben. 😉

   I’m a big fan of the smooth del.icio.us interface, and I hope that this takeover/ partnership doesn’t mean that we’re going to be subject to banner ads and subscription purchases.

   How integrated is the relationship? How much (if at all) is delicious going to change?

   I expect the changes will be similar to Flickr – just the Yahoo! logo added to the bottom of pages and the introduction of the Yahoo! sign-in service for the del.icio.us account.

   The big worry is what happens next – they’ve got Flickr in their grubby mits and now del.icio.us will they just suck them into the Yahoo! machine instead of leaving them as a seperate service.
