Yahoo planning to sell Delicious, not shut it down?

[cimorene]

What’s Next for Delicious?

No, we are not shutting down Delicious. While we have determined that there is not a strategic fit at Yahoo!, we believe there is a ideal home for Delicious outside of the company where it can be resourced to the level where it can be competitive. [...]

We’re actively thinking about the future of Delicious and we believe there is a home outside the company that would make more sense for the service and our users. We’re in the process of exploring a variety of options and talking to companies right now. And we’ll share our plans with you as soon as we can.

Whew! Now there's not a rush on the fannish alternative thing and we probably won't have to fuss with Diigo.

Interesting - when I go there, I get an internal server error. >_> Gotta love the rush!

Probably fell over from how many people wanted to look at it.
