Facebook Tagging For Business

by · September 28, 2009

But when I started diving into it, I realized the Yahoo-Google competitiveness probably wouldn’t allow it. (Yahoo owns del.icio.us.) Of course, this is just big company paranoia on my part. Del.icio.us doesn’t seem to offer the ability to import bookmarks from an RSS feed, making the Google Reader shares to del.icio.us easy, so it’s really just a matter of the site’s user options.
