Quoted: "You bookmark for one of two reasons: either you think you're going to need that page again somewhere down the road, or you don't have time to read it now, but you want to read it later," Schachter says. "The challenge is, once you've got all these bookmarks, how do you manage them? The problem we're really dealing with is memory and recall, and using technology to make your memory more scalable."

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.
