Delicious sold to youtube

[midnight_focus]

Just received an email from delicious saying that it is sold to youtube founders

Yahoo! is excited to announce that Delicious has been acquired by the founders of YouTube, Chad Hurley and Steve Chen. As creators of the largest online video platform, Hurley and Chen have firsthand expertise enabling millions of consumers to share their experiences with the world. Delicious will become part of their new Internet company, AVOS.

To continue using Delicious, you must agree to let Yahoo! transfer your bookmarks to AVOS. After a transition period and after your bookmarks are transferred, you will be subject to the AVOS terms of service and privacy policy.

I've come to notice that Industry News is usually discussed in the STS section.

Interesting. It's sold to the former founders and owners of youtube, not youtube/google.

 

[soulravager]

Hmm, this seems quite interesting.

Does that mean Yahoo is struggling with its budget, and needed some quick money, or does that mean Delicious wasn't profitable ?

Interesting, let's see what happens

hmmm.... Than yahoo must be in some problems if they sold delicious, I can't see other thing...

Yahoo didn't sell Delicious to Youtube, but like mentioned above to the previous owner of Delicious. It would b wrong decision by Yahoo to sell it to Youtube/Google. They wouldn't do it.

But google doesnt own youtube?

 

[IMHopeful]

Google owns youtube.

The quote in the original post states that delicious was sold to the "founders" of youtube -- not the current owner (Google.)

Google makes it more better than Yahoo i think

 

[wpdesire]

seriously ? but i see no future now in 'social sites like delicious. Digg is going down. i remember there was a time when Google was considering to buy Digg but the deal fell out

 

[Steller]

They must see something in the deal or they wouldn't have spent the kind of money they spent to get it. I would say they have something planned for it...

 

[gtree]

yahoo closed the BUZZ and now delicious so whats next from yahoo?

 

[Mr Baconator]

Wait, the original creators that sold YouTube to Google? Or Google just bought them out?

 

[serve2services]

maybe yahoo is starting to fall apart.. or it has been already years ago..

They should make some credible changes (Yahoo) to capture the Internet Users to use them again!...

 

[umairrockx]

Youtube is under Google. so directly saying, delicious sold to google?
