For over a decade, Delicious has been trying to prove that people want a social platform for sharing bookmarked webpages. It has been acquired three times since its founding: first by Yahoo in 2005, then by AVOS Systems in 2011, and now by Science, the “technology studio” behind Dollar Shave Club and DogVacay.
What Next for Delicio.us
Now it’s up to Science to figure out what it can do with a stagnant company that hasn’t proven its worth despite being offered far more chances to do so than almost any other startup. That’s going to require a serious effort -- and perhaps some willful ignorance of the disinterest users have had with social bookmarking or link-sharing services over the last few years.
My Two Cents
Now this is interesting -- what will Science do with Delicio.us. Originally the brain child of Joshua Schacter. Sold three times now and over a decade old. Delcio.us is now unofficially the Freddy Krueger of Internet solutions. Can't kill it. Michael Jones has the big-time chops to do something with this in a very big way.
