Today I noticed the first sign of Yahoo’s aquisition of del.icio.us. When using the del.icio.us bookmarklet to bookmark a site a new pre filled pop-up opens for My Web 2.0. I like this feature because allows me to share good content within my Yahoo network BUT I bet that the negative response to this will be overwhelming because:

- not all del.icio.us users have Yahoo accounts
- users might feel forced to do this
- there is no way to disable this

So…how much till a new del.icio.us suicide group will appear? A week? Put on your bets

After this kind of behaviour, it’s getting more and more clear, that after the aquisition of an independent leader of a certain niche by a major company the second place will see a wave of new users
