After the conclusion of the Yahoo acquisition case, there were internal upheavals, desertions, and the founders of Flickr "escaped" abroad. Today, it was reported that Joshua Schacter, founder of Delicious, has also left Yahoo. "It's just time to move on, I think," Schacter explained in an email, but he did not provide more details. The internet company confirmed the news on Tuesday evening and stated that Schacter will leave by the end of June. "Schacter made great contributions to the success of both Delicious and Yahoo," said Internet in a statement, wishing him good luck.

Although Yahoo expressed regret over Schacter's departure, it did not show too much concern about the development of Delicious. Yahoo claims that Schacter has already built a mature Delicious team, which will take Delicious to the next level and continue its mission - sharing network storage, the world's largest bookmarking site!
