Wow. This changes my opinion of Facebook's webmail offering significantly. Congrats to Mr. Buchheit and YC, you're both making out like bandits.

- louismg 16y agoPaul is a very smart guy. He is a tech visionary, and is extremely practical financially. He will be a huge boon for YC even more than he already has been, and a loss for Facebook. He previously stated he was not involved in any e-mail platform for Facebook, but the timing is interesting indeed. Great news.
- pg 16y agoI have no idea what Paul was working on at Facebook, but I believe the timing has to be coincidental, because we drove it. The reason this had to get announced today is that interviews for w2011 start on Monday.
- borism 16y agoWell, he was at FB at least 1 year, so there was some vesting I assume? Not entirely incidental, is it?
- kissickas 16y agoIn this interview he says he didn't work on it. http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1900200 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1900200
