Many of you have read the news stories about Delicious that began appearing yesterday. We’re genuinely sorry to have these stories appear with so little context for our loyal users. While we can’t answer each of your questions individually, we wanted to discuss what we can at this stage and we promise to keep you posted as future plans get finalized.

Things they made clear:

  • Delicious is not going to be closed.
  • No need to remove your book marks from there.
  • Delicious is being sold to some other company.

Things they did not make clear:

  • Who is going to buy Delicious?
  • Why did they take more than 24 hours to make it clear?

If you have any answers to these questions feel free to share them with me through the comments below. Who will own Delicious next?
