Google dont buy the Other Tagging Company

Post to del.icio.us : Most important website since google, and my usage is only growing. Union Square and angels put in $1.3m Om says and guesses they took 25% of company, with a sale price of $10m-$15m required for a return. Too small a return. I'd say del.icio.us took more than $15m and closer to but less than Flickr : $25m is my guess what Yahoo paid, which fits into Fred's interest in acquisitions under $50m by GEMAYA. Is del.icio.us now a West Coast company ? Jeff Clavier pushes Kaboodle and says there are low barriers to entry, but tell me it is simple to become as prescient as del.icio.us, although it does need to go to next level of market adoption. Please don't repeat Flickr mistakes and always be down, and have crazed sign in processes. I also hope Yahoo makes a sexy mainstream version (probably thru myweb), as well as keep the stripped down model we have now. Keep the Navy Blue del.icio.us - much better than all the baby blues that are around. Missed again Google.
