After the widespread news that Yahoo was going to shut down Delicious social bookmarking service last week, an official post was released on Friday stating they would not be shutting down;

Is Delicious being shut down? And should I be worried about my data?
- No, we are not shutting down Delicious. While we have determined that there is not a strategic fit at Yahoo!, we believe there is a ideal home for Delicious outside of the company where it can be resourced to the level where it can be competitive.

What is Yahoo! going to do with Delicious?
- We're actively thinking about the future of Delicious and we believe there is a home outside the company that would make more sense for the service and our users. We're in the process of exploring a variety of options and talking to companies right now. And we'll share our plans with you as soon as we can.

Given the disappointment that went around the web following the original news, it appears Delicious has a strong userbase for Yahoo! to explore.
