Delicious Creator Leaves Google

Joshua Schachter, the creator of the social bookmarking web service Delicious, has announced via Twitter that he is leaving Google after a year and a half on the job.

Schachter's tweet is short but sweet: "today is my last day at google. sad about leaving but excited about the future." His next tweet then goes on to say that he has "no clue" what he's going to do next. It's unclear at this time why he is parting ways with the search giant.

Schachter sold Delicious to Yahoo in 2005 and worked for the company for several years before leaving. He has stated in the past that he regrets selling Delicious to Yahoo.

Even if Schachter doesn't have a gig lined up, we're sure he'll be able to land one quickly. Venture capitalist Jeff Clavier has already reached out to Schachter, and the Delicious founder has already proven that he is capable of building and scaling a web startup.
