Delicious News & Articles

If you thought social bookmarking was dead, think again. First Delicious was resurrected and brought us "stacks.” Now there’s Pistashio, which allows you to add to your “stash.”

Just a few weeks after announcing their intent to revamp Delicious, AVOS investors Chad Hurley and Steve Chen have resurrected the social bookmarking site. Will Delicious rise up from the ashes and revitalize the social bookmarking scene?

YouTube founders Chad Hurley and Steve Chen weren't crazy when they recently acquired Delicious from Yahoo! through their new startup AVOS (news, site). While Yahoo! couldn't seem to make heads nor tails with Delicious, AVOS goes one step ahead by combining Delicious' rich mine of business intelligence with social analytics technology from Tap11.

Three cheers! Chad Hurley and Steve Chen, the founders of YouTube, have officially saved Delicious, a popular social bookmarking site, from Yahoo.

In the course of a day, you will probably save a few dozen links distributed over different web services, applications and devices. Keeping tabs on your online bookmarks can be cumbersome given the various sources and applications that you use, though. Social bookmarking service Trunk.ly can help you make better sense out of your bookmarks.

Sadly, it may not be a very merry Christmas for the Yahoo! team. After dodging weeks of rumors, it's been confirmed that the company is eliminating a significant chunk of its staff, along with about a half dozen products. 

One of the most important steps to take before speaking to your customers through your web content is learning what they want, and what opinions they have about you and your competition.

But what if you don’t have the budget to pay for expensive research data or conduct focus groups? Targeted market surveys can cost up to $10,000 to reach a sample of just 1,000 people.

How Barack Obama Won the Online War

We all know that the President-elect has changed the game in terms of how elections are run, embracing the youth vote through the social tools which they use to communicate and raising millions in campaign funds through omnipresent widgets. No serious electoral candidate in future will go to war without having a serious social media strategy, and without thinking seriously about how to coin it from online contributions.
