SAN FRANCISCO: The content-sharing site Delicious may not be on Yahoo! Inc’s shrinking menu of online services much longer. Although a final decision evidently hasn’t been made, Delicious is on a list of services that Yahoo! is planning to close after shedding 600 employees, or about 4% of its work force.
An internal Yahoo! slide containing the endangered list was posted on the Internet on Thursday. The presentation was shared through Twitter, whose popularity may be one of the reasons that Yahoo! no longer prizes Delicious as much as it did five years ago when it bought the site for an undisclosed sum.
