Death of Del.icio.us leaves sour taste for Yahoo!

Del.icio.US fans across the world are in shock today with the news that Yahoo has decided to terminate the site, along with the MyBlogLog, AllTheWeb, Altavista, Yahoo! Bookmarks and Yahoo! Picks and Yahoo! Buzz.

News broke on TechCrunch this morning after a leaked slide of a meeting of the internal Yahoo! product team fell in the hands of Eric Marcoullier, co-founder of MyBlogLog blog social network. Has since been removed from YFrog, but the slide shows three columns titled sunset/merge/make feature with the Del.icio.us, Altavista, MyBlogLog, Yahoo! Bookmarks, AllTheWeb, Yahoo! Picks and Yahoo! Buzz listed under the not-so-subtle * Sunset * column.

Marcoullier tweeted the slide from your account, and then all hell broke loose, with the Yahoo product manager Blake Irving even threatening to fire anyone who leaked the slide.

Fans of del.icio.US in particular have been very vocal about the news, expressing their opposition to the decision of Yahoo using Twitter hashtags like # savedelicious and # delicious and even create an online petition that can be * signed * by retweeting it.

Product endings come the same week that Yahoo! has announced layoffs of 4 percent of its global team.
