Josh Schachter profiled, still officially young

josh-schachter.jpgMIT's prestigious Technology Review profiles the King of Tags, Yahoo's Joshua Schachter, and names the del.icio.us maker its Innovator of the Year.

Schachter became one of Web 2.0's favorite success stories when Yahoo bought him and his popular tagging service. We love him too, especially for how he sums up his hands-off approach with his users: "If I went in there and said, Hey, you're using that tag wrong, people would just tell me to fuck off."
