you've been warned

Never heard of 'Shared Stuff'. Never mind then.

need the advertising google provides; for some it's essential

btw, isn't it time we had some more complaints about biased coverage of google?

"Their P/E ration is at 25.9 and if there is anything we've learned from the do-com bust, it's that companies in such a position are headed for a crash - especially in an economy like this one and you don't sell things that people can't do without."

What's MSFT's p/e? 9?

They're discounting MSFT on the expectation of future failure I reckon, (Office looks shaky in particular, Windows is under attack from Linux laptots).

I think they're pricing up Google because companies have to fight harder for sales during recessions and that drives up advertising spends. Hence the multiple. (you can continue to use your MS software for longer, but you you need to keep your ad spend ongoing to sell).

...and normal folk who appreciate an exceedingly useful service that does what it says on the tin: Online Bookmarking. In truth, Delicious is fairly Web1.5-ish. And no worse for that.

The immersion into the social element of Delicious is entirely up to the user - you can keep all your bookmarks entirely private if you wish. I opt to keep /some/ bookmarks private and I very rarely use the wholly unobtrusive social part of their offering.

And I'd pay a small subscription fee to use it, if it came to it. Which is more than I can say for virtually every other website/web app, Gmail and GMaps excepted.

And there's no obvious competition. Magnolia's recent hiccup does them no favours at all, and every other service I'm aware of is cluttered to fook with portal-esque junk.

Just got the message today although I haven't used it in years, it became fairly useless after they increased mail space.
