Delicious Top Searches of 2008 Aren't What You'd Expect - ReadWriteWeb
Yahoo absolutely ruined del.icio.us with their terrible redesign and complete lack of development. Traffic is off 2x from the peak and this was one of the most promising services ever IMO.
I interviewed at delicious years ago, way back when they were just a bunch of guys crammed in a tiny office near the Shake Shack by Madison Square Park. Things got derailed as they were in the middle of secret acquisition talks with Yahoo and Google (who were outbid). If del.icio.us had gone it alone, would they have done better? No sé.
