Quoted: "You bookmark for one of two reasons: either you think you're going to need that page again somewhere down the road, or you don't have time to read it now, but you want to read it later," Schachter says. "The challenge is, once you've got all these bookmarks, how do you manage them? The problem we're really dealing with is memory and recall, and using technology to make your memory more scalable."

Cool article in Business 2.0 about the founder of del.icio.us and what he's going to be working towards now that he sold out to Yahoo.

Quoted: Right before Joshua Schachter announced in mid-December that Yahoo was acquiring his social-bookmarking startup, Del.icio.us, I'd spoken with Schachter more than once about the future of the company, and never had he remotely hinted that a sale was in the works. Quite the contrary, actually. So when we met for lunch the following week, I asked if getting bought had been in the cards all along. Of course, it was always a possibility, Schachter said between bites of a monster cheeseburger. But I didn't take it seriously until there was a tangible opportunity on the table. I tend not to fantasize about this stuff--that's just magical thinking.

This is an entry today in one of the professional Salon.com blogs discussing Yahoo's announced purchase of del.icio.us. It's a short piece ina blog typically dedicated to issues around globalism.

Quoted: "Globalization is a fearsome force, if only because of the obvious way in which it is weakening the power of organized labor in the industrialized world. But the creation of a global community of minds via the Internet, the burgeoning of conversations mediated by social networking sites and blogs and mailing lists and e-mail and instant messaging is also a fantastically potent and positive force for the expression of ideas and the creation of community that kowtows to no authority. Part of the story of globalization, then, is the story of the Internet, and how people are using it to organize themselves in new and powerful ways. So when you see posts here about hackers and geeks twisting the Net to their own purposes -- and being co-opted by Yahoo and Google and Microsoft as soon as their creations gain traction -- that's what's going on. It's the narrative of interconnection, and we're all part of it every time we log on."
