Alexis Ohanian on Bloomberg TV discussing Reddit, Hipmunk, and "Little Brother"

  Hipmunk. Should they change this name?

    But then I'd have to design a new logo...

  Solid interview style from Alexis, especially considering the wide-range of topics covered (Reddit, Hipmunk, Venture Capital, Little Brother, Tunisia, and of course the geographic history of self-immolation). Alexis - did she ask you to wear the hoodie? Seemed to perpetuate a stereotype, though it did allow you to show off your Hipmunk drawing. And maybe that's the image of you that you want to put out there!

    Thanks, Jacob! They did not ask me to wear the hoodie, but I did ask if I'd be required to dress up and the producer said I should wear whatever I'm comfortable in. And then I told her that was a hoodie and a shirt, she got excited because "we always have old white guys in suits on." Alas, I'm just a young-ish white male in a hoodie perpetuating a stereotype, but yes, I was certainly going to hustle the hipmunk logo as best as I could. There was potentially going to be a breadpig question, too, but alas, there wasn't enough time.
