Dec. 16th, 2010 02:41 pmYahoo to close down the Delicious bookmarking service!
[quoted]
Those who have been on the Internet long enough to remember the heyday of social bookmarking will understand this news to be a sign of the times for Yahoo, an aging portal seemingly in search of new direction. The still popular Delicious.com service -- which at the time of this writing shows an Alexa ranking of 255 -- was one of the first wave of high-profile acquisitions during the "Web 2.0" era, along with photo-sharing service Flickr, another Yahoo property.
The promise of social bookmarking was both to provide central, cloud-based storage for your web bookmarks as well as open up your bookmarks to social interaction and discovery. The shuttering of both Delicious and Yahoo's oddly competitive Yahoo! Bookmarks properties seemingly heralds the end of the company's experiments in this sector, and it will be interesting to see whether another player emerges to innovate the next era of social bookmarking.
If you have bookmarks at Delicious, here's how to export them. bookmarks export

Dec. 16th, 2010 04:51 pm"SyFy cancels Stargate:Universe"
It's not been a show I watch even after trying very hard to like it. Add to that the fact that they literally killed Atlantis to start this one up did not give me warm fuzzies about it in the first place.
Sorry folks, but this announcement does *not* get my knickers in a twist. I doubt Wright and Cooper have learned that screwing the fans in an effort to get your 'wonderkind' out there in the public eye doesn't always work in your favor.
It's sad to see the Stargate franchise close out, but in some ways it should have folded a couple of years ago. 'Jumping the Shark' is never a pretty swan song.
I'm just sayin'...
