Fresh from the press, a leaked presentation to Yahoo’s internal staff, has shown that amongst other things, they will be shutting down delicious, the pioneering social bookmarking website.
Yahoo product consolidation
Yahoo has laid off quite a few staff of late and as a result is consolidating its products: shutting down some, merging others and putting their emphasis on yet others. You can read all the details and see the evidence for yourself at Tech Crunch.
A petition is underway via Twitter, to try and save delicious and in a very short time has picked up a lot of momentum. However, its hard to say whether it will have any impact.
So if it doesn’t and there is no way to save delicious, what do we do with all our bookmarks that we have fastidiously saved and organised there? You have to love Wikipedia. They have a great list of social bookmarking sites for you to explore.
At least you now know what you are going to do on your holidays. 
Any recommendations?

I use Diigo – you can import from Delicious, and it does highlighting and sticky notes and such.
