Yahoo has announced that the founders of YouTube, Chad Hurley and Steve Chen, has acquired the service Delicious. The company has not specified the terms of the agreement and is limited to ensure that the new owners intend to continue and improve service. Delicious to share an Internet favorite with other members of the network.
The sale of Delicious by Yahoo! was announced since the company said it wanted to focus on the search business and away from other strategies. Delicious was created by Joshua Schachter in 2003, Yahoo bought it in 2005 with an investment of 20 million dollars, but the site just evolved since then.
The search company ensures that buyers have chosen the above, after ruling out many applicants, because they have shown a passion for the project and a particular vision of what must be Delicious. The founders of YouTube videos created the portal in 2005 and sold to Google 18 months later.
Hurley of YouTube was CEO until October last year. Yahoo announced in December last year its intention to sell Delicious arguing that "we believe exists outside of our group a haven for this site which is more relevant to their services and users."
