• eric - Feb 01 2006 | Joshua Schachter, del.icio.us, Yahoo, YHOO, news

  Cool article in Business 2.0 about the founder of del.icio.us and what he's going to be working towards now that he sold out to Yahoo.

  Quoted: Right before Joshua Schachter announced in mid-December that Yahoo was acquiring his social-bookmarking startup, Del.icio.us, I'd spoken with Schachter more than once about the future of the company, and never had he remotely hinted that a sale was in the works. Quite the contrary, actually. So when we met for lunch the following week, I asked if getting bought had been in the cards all along. Of course, it was always a possibility, Schachter said between bites of a monster cheeseburger. But I didn't take it seriously until there was a tangible opportunity on the table. I tend not to fantasize about this stuff--that's just magical thinking.
