Hurley Talks Delicious Relaunch

On the relaunch of Delicious, All Things D goes one-on-one with its co-savior Chad Hurley. Along with fellow YouTube founder Steve Chen, Hurley took the social bookmarking service off Yahoo's hands earlier this year. "It's a great brand that belongs in Silicon Valley," Hurley says of Delicious.
