Het ziet er naar uit dat Delicious een nieuw thuis gevonden heeft. En wel bij de oprichters van YouTube, Chad Hurley en Steve Chen. Dit is het bericht dat je nu op Delicious kunt lezen:
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, they have firsthand experience enabling millions of users 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.
Reasons to let Yahoo! transfer your bookmarks
As soon as you let Yahoo! move your Delicious account, you will:
- Enjoy uninterrupted use of Delicious.
- Keep your Delicious account and all your bookmarks.
- Keep the same look and feel of Delicious as you have today, and enjoy future innovations for the product.
It’s easy to have Yahoo! move your account to AVOS. When you do, you will be subject to the AVOS terms of service and privacy policy.
What happens if you do not move your bookmarks?
- Delicious in its current form will be available until approximately July 2011.
- After that, you will no longer be able to use your existing Delicious account and will not have access to your existing bookmarks or account information.
Ik ben benieuwd hoeveel gebruikers delicious is kwijt geraakt tussen december 2010 toen het bericht uitlekte dat Yahoo! de dienst wilde sluiten/afstoten. Maar het is nu zeker weer een site om in de gaten te houden. Ik ben benieuwd wat ze er van gaan maken.
