Found out that the social bookmarking site del.icio.us has been purchased by Yahoo.
This is a great move by Yahoo. It’s got synergy with Flickr, which is a photo hosting service that is highly extensible. Both del.icio.us and Flickr use tags, or what Web 2.0-ers would refer to as folksonomy. Both make terrific use of Ress (RSS) feeds.
Which is, I suspect, how Yahoo wants to take on Google in the search arena. I believe there is a place for Yahoo’s method and Google’s exceptional search algorithms. Hopefully, Yahoo can push del.icio.us, social bookmarking and tagging into the mainstream.
Read/write web, baby. Yeh! Just the way Sir Tim Berners-Lee envisioned.
P.S. Sir Tim has a blog!
