Yahoo adds another weapon to the arsenal - in a backwards sort of way

Yahoo has essentially eliminated the biggest competition for their My Web 2.0 by acquiring del.icio.us. I’m glad I switched over from del.icio.us to My Web a couple months ago. Why? Now I don’t have to deal with any weird integration going on between the two like I did with Flickr! The funniest part - at least for me - is that I have a draft post waiting here called “My Web 2.0 vs. del.icio.us” Now I guess I can delete that one…

Another post about the acquisition on TechCrunch.

Despite the fact that Yahoo’s “honchos” kind of came off as assholes in last night’s Apprentice, I have to applaud them for stepping up their game just when it seemed that Google was poised to take over the world. Nothing like rooting for the “underdog.”
