Founder of Delicious Joins Google
Posted at 8:17pm EST on 01/12/2009
The latest job hire at the Googleplex is the founder of Delicious. Joshua Schachter (@joshu). Joshua was honored just a little over two years ago at MIT as a “Top Innovator.” With Marissa Mayer on her way out, this is definitely a new addition that Google needs.
Delicious, a very popular social bookmarking service, was acquired three years ago by Yahoo! Six months ago, we saw Joshua leave Yahoo! His migration from Yahoo! to Google shouldn’t come as a shock, but almost more of a “next step” for Joshua.
A huge congratulations to Joshua and to Google for nabbing such an amazing innovator.
Here is the video of Schachter being honored at MIT.
