Yahoo will not shut down delightful and instead is hearing to sell it to some other company. At least, that's what Yahoo spelt on the Delicious blog Friday, a day after reports disseminated that it planned to shut down the social bookmarking trailblazer.

"We're actively conceiving about the future of delightful and we believe there is a home international the company that would build more sense for the service and our users," the blog post says. "We're in the process of searching a variety of options and speaking to companies right now. And we'll share our plans with you as soon as we can."

For now, delightful users don't have to rush to exportation their bookmarks because the service will remain active. "We can only think how upsetting the news reporting over the past 24 hours has been to many of you. talking for our team, we were very let down by the way that this seemed in the press. We'll let you know more as things develop," the blog post studies.
