"For 24 hours after the news leaked Yahoo said nothing – in spite of endless angry appeals for information from worried Delicious users. On Friday they confirmed that while "there is not a strategic fit at Yahoo, we believe there is an ideal home for Delicious outside of the company". But is it too late to save it and who would want to buy it now? Trust has been eroded and a mass exodus is underway as users exchange tips on how to export their bookmarks and move to other social bookmarking sites. Users have woken up to the fact that information is precious and that there are innovative alternatives like Pinboard and Diigo exist – that alone could spell disaster for Delicious.
Commentators writing on the influential TechCrunch blog accuse Yahoo of a lack of innovation and say the company is in "absolute disarray", a point echoed by one former Yahoo employee Jon Orlin, who says: "When you have 'the biggest collection of bookmarks in the universe' in a potentially very social product and you can't figure out how to run it in a lean, innovative and profitable way, it's a real sign you are in trouble." All of which leaves Delicious users feeling let down and anything but delicious."

It's one of the best-loved online tools, so why has Yahoo neglected its social bookmarking service Delicious?

"I’ve been using Diigo since last week’s news that Yahoo was threatening to “sunset” Delicious. After several days use, I’ve found Diigo to be a worthy replacement for Delicious. In some ways, Diigo is what Delicious should have become if Yahoo had not let Delicious languish. On the other hand, there are still a few gaps in Diigo’s features.
I know that others are looking for a Delicious replacement. To help you in that process, I’d like to offer my early impressions of Diigo."
