News with Kathy Choi

Yesterday it was reported that Yahoo is shutting down Del.icio.us? Yahoo Buzz? MyBlogog? And several other products so the company can focus on Core Strengths.

This morning Yahoo has come back to say they are not shutting down Delicious but “while they have “determined that there is a not a strategic fit at Yahoo, there is an ideal home for Delicious outside of the company where it can be resourced to the level where it can be competitive.”

Who would take this company?
