(I've said this many times before, but we really do appreciate all suggestions and complaints about Delicious.) Adding to what my fellow team member nosivadnomis (also known as Simon) said above, integrating with Yahoo! ID opens up a lot of interesting and useful opportunities for Delicious in the future. We've been part of Yahoo! since 2005, so this integration has actually been part of our plan for a long time. We know that this change is frustrating for some people, and we don't like making Delicious frustrating. There are several tradeoffs here, including that many, many people around the world already have Yahoo! accounts, so integration with Yahoo! ID makes Delicious easier and more convenient for them. We also know that some people prefer not to get Yahoo! accounts at all, but we hope that the usefulness of Delicious is worth it for many people. Thank you all for commenting.

We want it off, out not there and Firefox has no way for me to erase it!!!! Now we are bugged by it always wanting to mess with our bookmarks. Short of uninstalling the whole firefox and losing all my book marks what is the fix?????

That's great that Yahoo users can connect now, but it's not right to force people into creating an email account just to use Delicious. I already have a few accounts with Delicious that I love and we were looking at implementing this as tool across our entire organization. Only problem is now you have to create a crappy email account and enter in a bunch of personal info just to sign up! If you don't have Yahoo, this is a huge turn off and is crippling to many of the great uses for Delicious. EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTING!!! Just let the non-Yahoo folks enjoy it without destroying another great resource.....please? This is sooooo frustrating.

What percentage of delicious users also have/had a Yahoo account? Flickr got dirtied by Yahoo's ugly presence and delicious is going the same way.

I don't need another username I have to remember. If only Yahoo could offer the same option as Windows LiveID does - using any email/username you want. That is how I became member of LiveID, by using gmail account. So if only yahoo could offer registering with any email I would register straight away..., but until then..., probably won't become a member of otherwise this great tool...

For us to innovate and create new features there are many background changes that need to be made to allow us to support these features as we move forward. Sometimes we need a occasional ‘meh’ release from a user perspective to allow to focus on background functionality and lay the groundwork for those new features. More new ‘Delicious-centric’ functionality will be coming soon, I promise.
