This morning I just saw this.
Yahoo backs off killing Delicious. I really hope that they don't kill off Delicious since I've built up a nice list there using AdThis and have a link to my list at the root of my LL. |

Fuck, the founder sold it to Yahoo for a reported $30 million in 2005 and it took them less than 5 years to "throw it under the bus".

The big problem with Delicious is that they "no follow" all the links
 Twitter & Facebook do the same - so far Stumble Upon is the one that does not do it. |

Remember when we all optimised for AltaVista? I have a vaguely sad feeling that they're canning it.

 Yahoo was wanting you to jump through hoops, google was a gleam in some nerds eye, and Altavista listed you in a decent spot within a couple of days. And delivered the traffic. I'm getting all freaking misty eyed.

Yeah, I remember having top spot for some search terms... made some of my first sales thanks to AltaVista. Although I do remember that they changed the algorithm, I lost my rankings and thought... hmmm, I might try and get into this Google thing.

Ah, Geocities. Those were the days. Didn't think much of the overt advertising though...

oh yes, AltaVista made alot, ALOT of us some good money back in those days.
I remember landing several #1 slots for terms like black ass, black sex, black pussy ect... You pretty much counted on a great couple of weeks when you saw those kind of listings  |
