Yahoo! will continue to manage Delicious over the next couple of months as users are able to sign up for new accounts. After the transition period is complete, users\u2019 information will be moved over to the new service.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;As we have said, part of our product strategy involves shifting our investment with off-strategy products to put better focus on our core strengths and fund new innovation, says staff on Yahoo! blog. We believe this is the right move for the service, our users and our shareholders. Chad Hurley and Steve Chen are building an exciting new company and we look forward to watching the Delicious service continue to develop!&#8221;<\/p>\n<h6>Related articles<\/h6>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20140701221133\/http:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/blog\/btl\/nice-move-youtube-founders-take-delicious-off-yahoos-hands\/47909\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Nice move: YouTube founders take Delicious off Yahoo&#8217;s hands<\/a> (zdnet.com)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em><a title=\"Ralph Bach\" href=\"https:\/\/wp.me\/P2wgaW-3H\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Ralph Bach<\/a>\u00a0has been in IT long enough to know better and has blogged from his\u00a0<a title=\"Bach Seat\" href=\"https:\/\/rbach.net\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Bach Seat<\/a> about IT, careers, and anything else that catches his attention since 2005.
