del.ico.us bought by yahoo

[Subbarao Kambhampati <rao@asu.edu>]

Del.ico.us, which we discussed in conjunction with folksonomies, is 
bought by Yahoo...

and this tag line:


In contrast to Google, which takes more of an algorithmic approach to 
organizing the Web, Yahoo believes that it can make search better by 
tapping into the collective intelligence of its users. And buying 
Del.icio.us represents yet one more step in that direction.
