Another good secondary data point for intuiting product demand, as expressed through easier investing / funding areas, (combining with the Flickr acquisition) or, at least, what someone with access to Yahoo’s pockets _thinks_ is product demand!

One I can get this silly Wiki SW installed, related fundings and M&A will definitely be one of the things in the MR section!

“Adding to its social networking offerings, Yahoo said that it has acquired del.icio.us, a New York-based startup that allows users to keep links to Internet content and access them from any computer on the web. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed. Del.icio.us will remain in charge of its site, which also allows users to share their favorite links with others, as well as search through other people’s favorites. The company, which has nine employees, has signed up more than 300,000 users since its inception in 2003. Yahoo also has recently acquired social networking sites Flickr and Upcoming.org.”
