[...] Yahoo’s MyWeb effort, so eloquently detailed by Erick Schonfeld in Business 2.0, and its recent acquisition of Del.icio.us are part of this “people versus Google” movement. [...]

[...] There has been a lot of back and forth about whether the del.icio.us - Yahoo deal makes sense. In my opinion, it does. Yahoo’s tagging strategy was incomplete without it, and not just becase My Web 2.0 has not been that big a success - so far. [...]

Yahoo has been known to pay millions for businesses that didn’t go anywhere. I don’t think it’s all about profits for yahoo, as it is nipping the competitor in the bud.

[...] Om Malik followed up with some guesses at the sale price (among other things): [in an earlier round of financing] the company had raised $1.3 million, and if that got the VCs around 25% of the company, my guess is the final price is between - $10 and $15 million. I am speculating here, and have no information. So treat it like that… simple speculation. [...]

del.icio.us RIP

This is probably the worst news I’ve heard in ages. I’m a long time user of del.icio.us and love it’s simple interface, open standards, ad free, and extensability. Joshua, please provide some more information on how del.icio.us will mutate…

[...] I wonder if Google, Yahoo! and Microsoft are working on something along these lines? There are many speculative rationalizations of why Yahoo bought del.ico.us, but one that I haven’t heard of is may be they have seen the value in a service that attracts a free pool of resources that are willing to categorize the content on the web. I think del.ico.us would make an excellent teaching tool. [...]

[...] I will preface this by saying I know NOTHING about the actual deal between Yahoo and del.icio.us. Om Malik’s posting, in which he speculated about the buyout price, set me thinking about the various scenarios for employees in this buyout. You may recall a couple of weeks ago I wrote about participating vs preferred shares, and how they could impact employee stockholders and founders at exit, especially in the case of a small exit. If the numbers are as Om speculates, then this seemed like a perfect opportunity to illustrate that impact. [...]
