- simonw 13y agoTo clarify: we did have a solid three months of honeymoon before we started the company! Here's a longer version of the story: http://lanyrd.com/blog/2012/lanyrd-the-early-days/ http://lanyrd.com/blog/2012/lanyrd-the-early-days/
- fourstar 13y agoI remember reaching out to them a couple years ago asking about their stack, and I got a really nice/informative response back (actually they linked me to a page on their site that listed all the info). These two deserve it!
- reachedtoofar 13y agoA lot of Americans say 'reaching out' when they mean 'talk', it sounds ludicrous to me- as if it were the bloody Creation of Adam ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Michelangelo_-_Creation_of_Adam.jpg http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Michelangelo_-_Creation_of... ). So naff.

- fudged71 13y agoNeat! Thanks for the history lesson.
- untog 13y agoA lot Brits say 'naff' when they mean 'unfashionable', it sounds ludicrous to me- as if we were still in the 1980's ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1980s http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1980s ). Not fly. (to be more serious about it: different countries use different phrases. So what?)
- corin_ 13y agoThey mean different things - reaching out is more specific about who is initiating the conversation, and it also doesn't necessarily imply success. I may have reached out to Bill Gates yesterday to see if he fancies giving me some career advice, but it's unlikely I talked to Bill Gates yesterday.
