Well, crap. Yahoo! has purchased del.icio.us. That's two web services of which I am a rabid fan that they've gobbled up. They've already managed to crap up the Flickr registration process and burned a bunch of karma when they flipped everyone over to Yahoo! accounts and broke the "remember me" feature for a few weeks.
I still don't trust Yahoo! not to pollute Flickr (and now del.icio.us) with flash ads and cross-promotion. Things have been quiet since the Flickr accounts merge kafuffle, but I'm not looking forward to being forced to switch over to a Yahoo! ID next year.
