The del.icio.us Story

Here is an interview of the creator (Joshua Schachter) of del.icio.us, which was recently acquired by Yahoo. What can we learn from it? One thing I'd say is many great products come from developers scratching their own itches. del.icio.us is no exception.

I originally created it to manage my own bookmarks.

There are certainly many other factors. But when the user and a great developer collapse into the same person, it is something to watch.
