    Re: Yahoo buys .US site

    I bet Yahoo! changes the name.

    I love .US but hate these split-word type domains, in any extension.

    Edit: Ok, just found their new name.

    Delicious.com, they own it - it forwards to del.icio.us

    Great news. I got flyto.us, hope this helps to increase the value of split-word domains.

    Re: Yahoo buys .US site

    Ovt. w ext.

    del.icio.us = 2918
    delicious.com = 134

    Why would they change the name with such numbers and the fact that .com already redirects to the highly unique .us name, which (uniqueness) might be a draw for the kind of folks who are users of this site.

    Well, the reverse is also true.

    Direct del.icio.us to delicious.com – either way they won't loose any traffic.

    Why would they change? del.icio.us just doesn't have the same credibility as delicious.com or delicious.us for that matter.

    Also, it's difficult to remember and recall. Imagine a radio commercial for this site, with the current name...

    Visit del-dot-I-c-I-o-dot-us for more information – it just wouldn't work.

    Re: Yahoo buys .US site

    Best thing about the sale is it will remain .US
    joshua the founder is headed to yahoo in cal full time nice someone who started with .US is in the heart of the company yahoo.

    Price tag 15-30mill ,,looks like sets new ground for alternate tld's see link below....


    Walther notes that Del.icio.us will maintain its own separate identity, as Flickr has done. "This is not about taking del.icio.us and jamming it into the middle of Yahoo," he says. And although My Web 2.0 also offers a way to share bookmarks, it too will remain separate from Del.icio.us.


    nice headlines
    Yahoo! hopes purchase of 'social media' company Del.icio.us is del.ight.ful weapon vs. Google.

    I wonder how tagging and web bookmarks will affect SEO in the long term.

    Yahoo buys web start-up Del.icio.us
    By Kevin Allison andRichard Waters in San Francisco
    Published: December 10 2005 02:00 | Last updated: December 10 2005 02:00

    Yahoo yesterday snapped up Del.icio.us, one of the new breed of young internet companies.

    The purchase of the private company, for an undisclosed amount, caps a string of deals that have seen Yahoo become the most active acquirer of what have become known as "Web 2.0" companies. These are members of a new generation of internet start-ups whose technology has unleashed a second wave of innovation on the web, along with a new bout of venture capital investment euphoria.
