Clearly Yahoo is interested in being the big player in "web 2.0" whereas Google is surfacing as the big search player - that part is obvious. But how does del.icio.us plug into that strategy exactly?

I'm not sure exactly but del.icio.us has figured out the tagging equation; maybe something there. It would be really neat to see some sort of incorporation of del.icio.us into MyYahoo, maybe some sort of ajax widget deal.

As we enter the age of Web 2.0, it becomes important for global companies like yahoo to lure the consumer base to use their products alone. Yahoo, being the biggest service provider of online services, wants to put all services that a user can require at one place. Del.icio.us, having an innovative product with sizeable userbase, if incorporated with MyYahoo or MyWeb, could put Yahoo's future in a strong state, giving competition to others in the same field. Its on the blogs that even Google will try to incorporate such a feature soon, as an answer to Yahoo.
