del.icio.us acquired by Yahoo!

Quite a buzz about Yahoo!’s recent web 2.0 acquistion has been announced last Friday – both by Yahoo! as well as from del.icio.us.

With focus to one of the two VCs having been invested in del.icio.us this is just another trade sale to Yahoo!. BV Capital already sold eGroups to Yahoo! in 2000. However, for the leading VC Union Square Ventures it was definitely a time to celebrate after they hold their investment only eight months.
