Yahoo! promised in December that it would try to find a buyer for online bookmarking service Delicious, rather than shutting the service down. The search-engine giant kept its word with the help of YouTube founders Chad Hurley and Steve Chen.
Hurley and Chen will continue to operate Delicious and eye improvements to the service, according to Yahoo!, which acquired Delicious along with photo-sharing site Flickr in 2005. Financial terms of the transaction were not announced.
