I wonder who the "competitor" is that bought delicious.

The first one that comes to mind is Digg, since Kevin Rose said he would like to buy it and Yahoo contacted Digg if they would by it[1]. The second one that comes to my mind is StumbleUpon, especially two days after raising a Series B of $17 Million[2].

I doubt Digg (the company) would bother. They are having more than enough trouble keeping their own ship afloat.

EDIT: then again, I wasn't aware of this: http://techcrunch.com/2011/01/26/kevin-rose-yahoo-contacted-...
