Social bookmarking founder: From Yahoo! to Google
Published: 13 January 2009 08:57 GMT
Joshua Schachter, the founder of Yahoo!'s Delicious social-bookmarking service who left the company last June, has taken a job at Google.
In an email interview, Schachter said he's started work at the rival internet company but doesn't yet know what he'll be working on. He's a member of Google's technical staff, according to his LinkedIn profile.
TechCrunch reported the new hire Monday after First Round Capital managing director Josh Kopelman mentioned the job in a Twitter posting.
Schachter created Delicious to help manage bookmarks he posted at an earlier site, the once entertaining but now dormant collection of links at Memepool, and continued to work on the project after Yahoo! acquired it, so he's got plenty of experience with the concept of bookmarks.
