News just broke that Google has hired Joshua Schachter, the founder of social bookmarking service Delicious. Schachter left Yahoo! six months ago, two and a half years after it acquired his groundbreaking app. We’re excited to see what he does at Google.
Schachter was working on some sort of secret project and worked with Upcoming.org co-founder Andy Baio, also rich and free years after a Yahoo! acquisition of his site, on one of the coolest Greasemonkey scripts we’ve ever seen.
