As Yahoo! is shutting down its products one by one, you people may aware that Yahoo! Buzz was shut down by April 21, 2011. Now it’s the turn to Delicious, one of the most popular and top ranking social bookmarking website which bring huge traffic to the websites. It is a sad news indeed! We guys are currently using delicious often to promote, share and save interesting stories. But, we can satisfy ourselves as Yahoo! do not shut down Delicious but instead they have sold it to another internet company “AVOS“, started by YouTube founders Chad Hurley and Steve Chen. A question may araise in your mind, like what about the bookmarks saved so far. Would we be losing them? Definitely, NO! You can transfer your entire saved bookmarks from Delicious to AVOS just by agreeing the terms and conditions of AVOS. You can watch the change if you login delicious where you will be asked to confirm the login credentials and account information as well as “Agree the Terms of service” of AVOS for a smooth transfer of bookmarks without any interruption.
