I haven’t ever been a huge fan of Yahoo or anything they have ever introduced w/ the exception of Del.icio.us, which is a social bookmarking service similar to Digg or any other social bookmarking service but a lot more organized and simplified. You can see my delicious page here. Well, I learned today on Mashable that Yahoo was planning to kill delicious. Honestly I can think of about a hundred other things that Yahoo could pull the plug on before Delicious, one of them being “search” but no one called to ask me about it.
Long story short, since I am a Picasa fanboy and could care less about Flickr I can pretty much live out the rest of my days completely Yahoo-less. By the way, if you are upset about the Del.icio.us departure I recommend checking out Diigo, which is a very similar service that Keith Crawford turned me onto a while back. It performs very similarly to Delicious and you can import your info from Delicious.
I know Yahoo’s reason for dropping Delicious but it looks like to me they could have at least made it available as a premium service or possibly tried to monetize the thing so those of us that have become embedded could have continued life as normal. Just goes to show you that Yahoo is a wacky outfit…

A while back I did a post on
If you are using the Internet as a vehicle to market your products or services through PPC campaigns I strongly recommend ShoeMoney Internet Marketing Tools. And trust me, I know that when you are running PPC campaigns that you often find yourself on the front end getting ready to shell out some serious cash, and it’s intimidating. I also know that the last thing you are looking for when getting into PPC is another online service that is going to cost you money, but if you take into consideration that by investing in a service such as this it can actually save you money in the long run, or allow you to get the most bang from your investment, it really makes a lot of sense.
I have to admit that I wasn’t too surprised when I learned yesterday that Yahoo Founder and CEO Jerry Yang was going to be stepping down as the CEO of Yahoo.
