Founder Del.icio.us hired by Google
Confirmed on Twitter, information that Joshua Schachter went to work at Google. He really has been working there since Monday.
Joshua became famous for his project Del.icio.us , the first social network on the Internet based on bookmarks. Although technologically the project was rather primitive, the idea turned out to be so attractive and unusual for that time (2003) that a large audience of users quickly formed around the site. In December 2005, Yahoo bought Del.icio.us for $ 10–15 million, and Joshua started to get paid there.

He suffered at Yahoo until June 2008, after which he quit and became one of many top managers and talented developers who left Yahoo lately.
What will Shakter do at Google? Perhaps, it will be engaged in technologies of social search or processing of users search history. As you know, Google is actively trying to create popular social services around the search service, so that the experience of Shakter will come in handy.
