A Delicious Eight Months

Delicious announced today that it has been acquired by Yahoo!

We've got a post up on the Union Square Ventures blog on it.

It's been a delicious eight months and we enjoyed every minute of it.

Congratulations Fred...that's great to see.

How to get ahead in the postbubble world: Build a company cheap. Flip It fast. Repeat.

Next?

Purchase price?

It's great and congrats to the team.

I think "WAP"(Web As Platform) is going to explode in coming years and many more like this will come...

Hey all,

Congrats! I'm a big fan of del.icio.us.

P.S. Strange that Google wasn't the acquirer... they really seemed like a natural fit, but whatever. Yahoo! (so far anyway) has done a good job of not ruining Flickr, so I'm hopeful about del.icio.us' future.

Congratulations!

What's next for you?

If you are interested, I posted my response to the acquisition on my blog if you want to read it

I read this Business
2.0 article
and I said to myself it's only a matter of days until they buy Del.icio.us out. This article gave it away. What timing. Congrats. I had a feeling this was the business plan.

Congratulations - can't wait to see what's next

As my husband would say, don't spend it all in one place. Fantastic quik pick.

congrats to you and brad on a job well done!

It's a fine line between being lucky and being good, but I'll take lucky any time :-) Congrats on the liquidity event.

Woot! Congraulations on nabbing a nascent model in its infancy and selling to the yodelers. That's a great tool which definitely needed a sponsor like Yahoo to take it to the next level, and I bet in 6 months there will be tagging abilities all over the Yahoo network. Way to go Fred!

This is a great site!
