New York Times Cites Digg, Del.icio.us In Shutdown Of Its Bookmarking Service

Earlier this afternoon, The New York Times issued an e-mail to all users that it's shutting down its Times-branded bookmarking service (Times File). The e-mail (shown below) cites the proliferation of social bookmarking sites like Digg and Delicious in its decision to eliminate the offering. The e-mail goes on to say that a process has been established to help existing Times File users move all of their bookmarks into LookSmart's Furl bookmarking service (the technology on which Times File is based).
