Last week,we reported thatYahoo!was sellingDeliciousfor a reported $5 million. Strong rumors are continuing to swirl, withBusiness Insider reportingthat the deal, codenamed “Project Dragon,” is closing in at only $1-2 million.
So while the numbers aren’t set it stone yet, it seems obvious that the sale is actually happening. While no one has spoken about who’s buying it, eyes are looking atStumbleUpon, who recently crossed over the27.5 million stumble markand just added a $17 million round of funding to its wallet.
