Employment News
Although you may have never heard of Chad Hurley and Steve Chen, you’ve certainly heard of the wildly popular site that they founded: YouTube.
These two web entrepreneurs have bought the Delicious web bookmarking service from Yahoo! Inc. and have big plans for the service. Yahoo! sold the service as a result of its plan to get rid of sites it owned that were not performing well.
In a statement made today, Hurley and Chen said that they plan on making Delicious part of AVOS, a new internet company that they started.
Said Hurley, who is CEO of AVOS, “We’re excited to work with this fantastic community and take Delicious to the next level. We see a tremendous opportunity to simplify the way users save and share content they discover anywhere on the web.”
Hurley and Chen are relocating Delicious to San Mateo, California, in a location that is a few blocks away from where they started YouTube in 2005. They are also “aggressively hiring” new workers to improve Delicious and make it easier to use for everyone.

EmploymentCrossing is great because it brings all of the jobs to one site. You don't have to go all over the place to find jobs.
- Kim Bennett Iowa,
Only VeterinaryCrossing consolidates every job it can find in the domain and puts all of the job listings it locates in one place.
- We have more jobs than any other job board.
- We list jobs you will not find elsewhere that are hidden in small regional publications and employer websites
- We collect jobs from more than 4,429,376 websites and post them on our site.
- We are private, and therefore far fewer people are applying for the jobs on our site than are applying for those on public job boards.
