I almost got them on the last sale!

Delicious costs $9K/month to run on AWS, so funding would definitely help there.

As far as I can tell, the site is now being run by some regretful SEO dude in Canada, and I don't think it would take a large suitcase of money to get it away from him.

I honestly don't care about any startup (especially a dying one) enough to remember where the periods are supposed to go if there is more than one.

Is this "still" a startup? It must have been around for decades.

Both del.icio.us and delicio.us forward to http://www.delicious.com/ now

When I talked to them about buying the site, the Science Inc. people were very clear that they intend to keep the delicious.com domain for some (presumably awful) new project.

The current redirect is temporary.
