This morning, Union Square Ventures partner Albert Wenger revealed on his blog that the firm has invested in Tasty Labs together with Andreessen Horowitz and unnamed angel investors. It’s unclear how much Tasty Labs raised, but we’re trying to find out.

Oh, and according to this (new?) line on their intensely sparse website, they’re going to try and put “the useful back into social software” and looking for software engineers and UX designers to help them accomplish that goal.

Union Square Ventures of course knows Schachter well – they invested in Delicious back in 2005 (the company was acquired by Yahoo the same year). USV’s Wenger knows Schachter even better – he served as Delicious’ president prior to joining the venture capital firm.

Schachter left Yahoo in 2008 and joined Google in 2009, before leaving earlier this year.

Tasty Labs’ two other co-founders have built up quite some experience too. Rademacher just quit his engineering position at Google, and Nguyen (who has worked for Schachter at Delicious in the past, too) has just left his post at Mozilla.
