Del.icio.us now in the Yahoo! stable

Social Software tools are proving to be a big hit with Yahoo! Del.icio.us is now officially part of the Yahoo! stable just like Flickr earlier this year.
Thanks, Joshua Schachter, (founder of Del.icio.us) for developing a brilliant Read/Write/Web social bookmarking tool for a growing and empowered community (power of folksonomy!).

I'm a big fan of Web 2.0 tools and Del.icio.us is one of my favourites. Richard MacManus expresses a concern: "Yahoo! acquires del.icio.us - just don't make it a walled garden, like My Web 2.0!" Hopefully, we will continue to see improvements but not at the expense of keeping Del.icio.us free and open, including its handy integration tools. What's that about "shutting the stable door..."?
