Stowe Boyd over at Get Real just posted a piece about Deli.icio.us being acquired by Yahoo — see below.
The real kicker for me was the partnership announcement with the Yahoo Search Team. Very interesting stuff and since tags are the new currency of reputation online, it will be exciting to watch as tags evolve in the realm profile evaluations for a pages’ historical use of a keyword phrase.
I’ll dive into this top further in a bit…
Techcrunch (Michael Arrington) reports that Del.icio.us has been acquired by Yahoo (see TechCrunch � Yalicious? - Yahoo Acquires Del.icio.us). No other news seems to be available.
[Update: 2:52pm -- Joshua Schachter confirms, and pointed out this entry at the delicio.us blo:

y.ah.oo!
We’re proud to announce that del.icio.us has joined the Yahoo! family. Together we’ll continue to improve how people discover, remember and share on the Internet, with a big emphasis on the power of community. We’re excited to be working with the Yahoo! Search team - they definitely get social systems and their potential to change the web. (We’re also excited to be joining our fraternal twin Flickr!)
We want to thank everyone who has helped us along the way - our employees, our great investors and advisors, and especially our users. We still want to get your feedback, and we look forward to bringing you new features and more servers in the future.
I look forward to continuing my vision of social and community memory, and taking it to the next level with the del.icio.us community and Yahoo!
