Pinterest acquires Delicious and will preserve it as an archive. Martin Waxman provides a primer on social listening for business. And Mary Meeker tells us about the Internet Trends that are shaping our world. Gini Dietrich, Martin Waxman and Joseph Thornley are together for another episode of the Inside PR podcast. Farewell Delicious Delicious was one of the first social apps that Gini, Martin and Joe used. A place to bookmark content and share it with our communities. An early pioneer, Delicious sold to Yahoo … and the end began. Yahoo didn't know what to do with Delicious. The app stagnated and was overtaken by newer competitors like Diigo. And now one of those rivals, Pinboard, has purchased Delicious. Pinterest's 1 billion entries will be preserved as an archive of the early social web. Thank you Pinboard for preserving the archives.
