祸害创意公司无数的 Yahoo! 终于放手原先非常火的SNS书签服务 Del.icio.us，可怜的用户，总是在被折腾...

雅虎周三宣布，YouTube联合创始人查德·赫尔利(Chad Hurley)和陈士骏(Steve Chen)收购了其在线社交书签服务Delicious。雅虎未透露协议的金额，预计交易将在7月完成。赫尔利和陈士骏谁最近成立了一家新的互联网公司Avos。他们表示：“Delicious将继续提供用户喜爱的同样伟大的服务，并使保存、共享和挖掘网上‘最美味内容’变得更容易、更有趣”。Delicious将并入到Avos。

雅虎是在2005年收购Delicious，公司首席执行官卡罗尔巴茨(Carol Bartz)正在精简业务，去年底她表示，该服务不符合公司的长期战略。赫尔利和陈士骏在2006年以16.5亿美元将YouTube出售给谷歌。

他们透露，Avos位于加州San Mateo，“距离他们创办YouTube的地点仅数街区之隔”。他们表示：“我们很高兴能与这个梦幻般的团队合作，共同将Delicious的业务带入新的阶段”。

雅虎沟通和社区高级副总裁约翰·马特尼(John Matheny)在声明中表示：“在出售Delicious时他们与很多公司进行过谈判，选择赫尔利和陈士骏是因为他们对Delicious有着独特的见解和热情”。

当Delicious转到新东家后，用户需要注册新的帐号。在过渡期间，他们的公共和私人书签可保留，并转到新的帐号上。
