I guess they're ready to sell off delicious.com domain. They're probably gonna kill the rest of the site at some point.
I was a delicious user for 5+ years. Last update (single page JS app) worked well and I had no complaints. Now they've gone back to the old design because it uses less resources or something. Too bad nothing with it works well. Bookmarklet is unusable and the site itself looks like it came from 2005.
I'm so glad they came back up so I can export my bookmarks and move elsewhere. After being down for a week and being unusable for close to a month, I've had enough of them. Their new management killed the site.
Delicious is still a thing? Who knew! I thought everybody had abandoned it long ago. Like many others, I went to http://pinboard.in when Delicious became terminally crap.
Ironically, switching to the .com domain was one of the few sensible decisions they made in later years. I could never remember where the first dot went in the .us one.

You really have to wonder what's up with Yahoo that they essentially destroy everything they buy.
Certainly there are horror stories about Google, Amazon, Facebook, etc. buying stuff and wrecking it, but they also have success stories. It seems that crash-and-burn is the norm for Yahoo (also Oracle).
There are probably some management lessons to be learned by studying what's different about the acquisition strategies of these companies.
