Delicious to close down

The bookmark sharing service delicious is due to close down, as per reported by Andy Baio. This likely to be the result of massive job cut at Yahoo, as per reported by the American press.

Delicious was launched in 2003et bought by yahoo in 2005. The site allows classifying web pages by key word. This innovative service, symbols of the collaborative web, allows web user to use their web bookmark from any workstation

However, a speaker from Yahoo has not confirmed M. Baio statement, see article on TechCrunch. Yahoo has just announced that the group was looking into stopping service that did not perform as per expected.
