(2017-06-01) Pinboard Buys Delicious

Pinboard has acquired Delicious

If you’re a Delicious user, you will have to find another place to save your bookmarks. The site will stay online. but on June 15, I will put Delicious into read-only mode. You won't be able to save new bookmarks after that date, or use the API.

As for the ultimate fate of the site, I'll have more to say about that soon. Delicious has over a billion bookmarks and is a fascinating piece of web history

Pinboard’s decision to acquire del.icio.us is an incredibly shrewd one... By purchasing del.icio.us, Pinboard is able to coax the few remaining del.icio.us users to jump ship... Ceglowski also confirmed the purchase price for del.icio.us, which was $35,000.
