UPDATED POST and Clarification: Yahoo and a Delicious Shutdown? + Other Yahoo Properties

UPDATE: We decided to use the words "confirmed" and "shutdown" in the post from earlier today because stories from TechCrunch, AllThingsD/WSJ, and News.com appear to be clear in the words they use.***

However, Search Engine Land reports that Delicious is a "maybe" for a shutdown. The NY Times says the same thing.

So, because of the disparity (and the respect we have for SEL and the NY Times) we've removed the word confirmed and added a question mark in a new headline.

Apologies for the confusion and the possibility of jumping the gun.

*** From ReadWriteWeb: "R.I.P. Delicious: You Were So Beautiful to Me"

**** Business Insider has posted a screenshot of a tweet from Yahoo's Chief Product Office, Blake Irving, saying when he finds who leaked the login info to view today's closed company meeting, he plans to fire/sack/say so long to leaker. See the tweet here.
