I’m happy to report that today Yahoo announced that they have acquired del.icio.us, my absolute favourite social bookmarking service. I think that this will be a great boost for del.icio.us and was a very smart buy on Yahoo’s part. Not only can we expect faster access times to del.icio.us due to the added Yahoo server power, but I think that there is a tremendous potential for integration between Yahoo’s existing services especially in regards to tagging. How cool would it be to share tags between your bookmarks, blogs and pictures?
Thanks to the Social Software Weblog for being the first of my feeds to report the great news.
