It's kinda funny to follow what's going on with Tagged. About 2 years ago I had just accepted an offer with Scribd, but already had an interview set up with Tagged, so I decided to go to the interview just for the experience. I had initially declined the Tagged interview after looking at their site (asking myself "Would I ever use this?" and the answer was "Hell no"), but Greg Tseng called me and convinced me to change my mind. Man, that guy can talk - he's very smart and very persuasive. He told me about how they were already very profitable and about his team's expertise with "viral marketing" <cough>. So I decided to go and see what it was like. I arrived at the interview in a lovely loft office downtown SF and met with the engineers who asked me to solve some low level complex computer science brain teasers. Having spent all of my previous 8 years building web systems for major universities and billion dollar companies and no time practicing computer science brain teasers, I failed pretty miserably ;) Anyway, it obviously wasn't going to be a match, but it was an interesting life experience nonetheless. Fortunately working at Scribd was great - super great team and really interesting problems to solve.
