PSA: Yahoo! will likely be shutting down de.li.ci.ous
Okay, folks, it seems like it's official. After the last round of layoffs at Yahoo!, it appears that Yahoo! included the Delicious staff in the cuts.
So I haven't made as much use of Delicious as some of you, but I do have several dozen bookmarks there. So, uh, now would be the time for people to A) look into this to make sure it's legit (it looks like it, but I've been wrong before), and B) save your bookmarks elsewhere if needs be. :)

Is Delicious being shut down? And should I be worried about my data?
- No, we are not shutting down Delicious. While we have determined that there is not a strategic fit at Yahoo!, we believe there is a ideal home for Delicious outside of the company where it can be resourced to the level where it can be competitive.
What is Yahoo! going to do with Delicious?
- We’re actively thinking about the future of Delicious and we believe there is a home outside the company that would make more sense for the service and our users. We’re in the process of exploring a variety of options and talking to companies right now. And we’ll share our plans with you as soon as we can.
