Joshua Schachter Goes Fulltime With Delicious

big news [delicious-discuss]

After seeing my little project go from a small hobby to a large one and then consume all my waking hours, I’ve decided to quit my job and work on del.icio.us full time.

I’ve given a lot of thought to how to make this happen, and ultimately decided that the best way forward is to take on some outside investment.

Hearty congratulations and best wishes for continuing success!

Update - 15 April:

Here’s a confirmation that funding came from selling a minority stake of the company to Union Square Ventures, Amazon.com and Netscape co-founder Marc Andreessen
