It seems a bit crazy that they're shutting down services like delicious and especially Uproar (which is actually in a growth market!).
I'd be shocked if there aren't other tech companies interested in buying the tech, the userbase and the employees (who've just be made redundant presumably at some expense).
What's the justification to shareholders to shutting down as opposed to selling ?
- notahacker 16y agoTax writeoffs, I'd assume. And perhaps the long term possibility of a more innovative owner taking advantage of Delicious' neglected potential and making Yahoo look incompetent would be even more damaging than just admitting the service doesn't make any money. I find it hard to believe that Delicious would have no value to anyone at a fire-sale price.
