Why does he even need a job? Didn't SlashDot earn him enough to live on for rest of his life?

  Rob doesn't strike me as the sort of person who'd enjoy just kicking back and relaxing forever. He's comfortably well-off, but is looking for a change. 14 years is a lot of time to dedicate to one project, especially when it's mature and stable like Slashdot is. I imagine he's going to take a well-deserved break and then like a lot of tech entrepreneur's, come back for round two and start another company.

    You're spot on. Rob is not good at being Idle.

      That, sir, is truth spoken.

    Also, way to totally blow past what took me like 6 months to get in HN karma points in like 7 hours... :) You sure know how to make a guy feel popular ;)

    Not to pry -- but did you get any offers of teaching/research posts at a university teaching social media? Did you consider taking any possible offers?
