Mr. Joshua Schachter

The creator of Delicious, GeoURL, and co-creator of Memepool, he has a B.S. in Electrical and Computer Engineering from Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh. He released the first version of Delicious (then called del.icio.us) in September 2003. The service coined the term social bookmarking and featured tagging, a system he developed for organizing links suggested to Memepool and publishing some of them on his personal linkblog, Muxway. On December 9, 2005, Yahoo! acquired Delicious for an undisclosed sum. Prior to working full-time on Delicious, he was an analyst in Morgan Stanley's Equity Trading Lab. He created GeoURL in 2002 and ran it until 2004. In June 2008 he announced his decision to leave Yahoo and worked for Google from January 2009 to June 2010.
