Evidently I missed Something

Annouced late in December '05:

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!

It seems like Yahoo! wants to keep up with Google and MSN. Google has been launching a lot of "Web 2.0" services and applications lately, so did MSN (although they are less popular).

Yahoo! also bought Flickr, which is just like del.icio.us a tag based service.

There have been rumours about Yahoo! acquiring digg, but they are also false.

Speaking of Yahoo, I didn't realize before that they also bought out MusicMatch. Apparently they bought them in 2004 but only recently did they change the logo on MusicMatch.com to be a "Y! Music" logo instead.
