Rumors were flying last week that social bookmarking service Delicious would be killed after the popular web service showed up in the "sunset" section of a leaked internal Yahoo slide laying out the company's new priorities as it continues its turnaround efforts.

On Friday a Yahoo's Chris Yeh posted comments on the Delicious blog intended to squelch the shutdown rumblings.

Before Delicious fans get too excited or relieved, however, know that Yeh isn't exactly guaranteeing a bright future for the service. More like hoping for a bright future. Here's what he wrote:

Many of you have read the news stories about Delicious that began appearing yesterday. We're genuinely sorry to have these stories appear with so little context for our loyal users. While we can't answer each of your questions individually, we wanted to address what we can at this stage and we promise to keep you posted as future plans get finalized.
