Delicious founder on site's potential: 'The time has passed'

Delicious founder on site's potential: 'The time has passed' - CNN.com: "More than five years after the social bookmarking website was sold to Yahoo for a reported $15 million, Joshua Schachter's Delicious is suddenly in the news again.

Yahoo flipped the struggling property Wednesday to the pair who founded YouTube for an undisclosed sum. People immediately turned to Schachter for his take.

'I think the time [for Delicious] has passed, but maybe they'll do something cool with the name,' Schachter told CNN in an interview from his new office here. 'I use it somewhat, but I'm not a heavy user anymore.'

The new owners, having formed a venture in San Mateo, California, called AVOS, are 'currently heads down working hard' on their vision for Delicious, the company said in an e-mailed statement. Chad Hurley and Steve Chen, who shepherded the world's largest online video service to Google, have been vague about their plans for Delicious and declined an interview request.

'We're excited to work with this fantastic community and take Delicious to the next level,' AVOS CEO Hurley said in a statement. 'We see a tremendous opportunity to simplify the way users save and share content they discover anywhere on the Web.'
