Ever since YouTube founders Chad Hurley and Steve Chen acquired social bookmarking site Delicious from Yahoo in April via their new Internet company AVOS, Delicious users and fans have been standing by to see what they were going to do with the site. Well folks, the site was relaunched earlier this week so the waiting is over! The new Delicious is actually pretty similar to the old Delicious—they’ve kept the same branding, logo and utility—but there is one major update. With the introduction of the new Delicious comes a tasty new feature called “Stacks,” which Chad and Steve are calling “Playlists for the Web!” But I’m gonna go out on a limb and say that stacks should actually be called ”Tumblr for Delicious,” but more on that later.

After an uproar yesterday regarding leaked information that Yahoo! was planning to shutdown the much loved social bookmarking service Delicious, the San Francisco company finally responded in a blog post today, saying that Delicious will in fact not be shutdown. The post comes almost 24 hours after a leaked internal slide showed the Yahoo web property Delicious would be “sunset” along with a number of other services. The news of shutdown spread like wildfire and was confirmed by several technology blogs, but a statement from Yahoo! was nowhere to be found until today.

5 Alternatives for Social Bookmarking To Prepare for Delicious’ Passing

With Yahoo taking the rather misguided step of deciding to shutdown the much beloved social bookmarking tool Delicious (formerly Del.icio.us), the first thought in everyone’s mind is – what’s going to happen to all my bookmarks? The internet has been awash in the past 24 hours with negativity towards Yahoo for even considering pulling the popular and handy service, and now signatures even are being collected to petition Yahoo to turn Delicious over to the open source community. The free service was a staple for many internet users and it now has many wondering where to turn in hopes of salvaging years of saved bookmarks.

Amplify Adds Followers. Too Much Like Facebook?

kristennicole — Tue, 14 Jul 2009 14:08:31 +0000

Recently launched bookmarking service Amplify is adding a new feature today that changes a significant portion of its site. You’re now able to follow other users, and they can in turn follow you. Yes, it’s kind of like Twitter, and even more like Facebook’s plans for non-reciprocal following, but more specific to the Amplify service.

If you recall, Amplify works as a browser addon that enables you to create custom clips from across the web. You can then share these clips on various social media and networking sites. With Facebook Connect integration, Amplify readily provides a direct outlet for making these custom clips social. But Amplify is also one of the few social bookmarking sites that also archives all of your content into a more digestible clog (think blog) format.
