Those wild and crazy management figures at Yahoo continue to act according to the philosophy that "less is more." In this case, the once-proud Internet search firm sold the social bookmarking service Delicious to YouTube founders Chad Hurley and Steve Chen. The image (left) shows both Silicon Valley figures in a playful moment.The pair intend to raise Delicious to "the next level," according to an AP story reprinted in the San Jose Mercury News. In the meantime, they'll fold Delicious into AVOS, "a new Internet company," according to the company's website. You don't say! At least we weren't misled into thinking AVOS was an acronym for a government-sponsored project, an offshore hedge fund, or an untested pharmaceutical product. "The next level" claim also spared us any sort of rigorous thinking. In fact, we could indulge ourselves on thinking about Delicious in any form we wanted. It feels better going down that way.
