Yahoo Mon, 23 Jun 2008 13:22:55 +0000 http://www.markevanstech.com/?p=3527#comment-72985 You don't know what you're talking about. It was bad but it didn't happen the way you think. Delicious was and is an active project and Yahoo was very interested in it. They thought they were going to get a billion dollars plus in improved search quality once Delicious data was flowing into Yahoo search. But that and the Del 2.0 project failed because of Yahoo incompetence and they may never be able to bring 2.0 out without starting over from scratch. Maybe Joshua will straighten you all out someday. It's a really sad story. You don’t know what you’re talking about. It was bad but it didn’t happen the way you think. Delicious was and is an active project and Yahoo was very interested in it.

It looks useful, but why this difficult transition from the old extension (not compatible with FF3) and this which so far looks good. Why can't more people be customer (user) - centric and make sure we enjoy the experience. @Andy Davies – thanks for that link.
