   It's the position we're hiring for most urgently; we're hoping to fill it within the next few weeks, whereas for the others listed the time frame is 1-3 months (depending on when we find someone who is a good fit). Glad you caught the artic

    Certainly a fair question. I can pledge to you that we do not (and never will) alter our Deal Score based on fees or relationships with ticket sellers. Our team has spent countless hours building the components of this thing to make it hy

    I apologize to anyone who thought our post was callous; definitely not what we intended. Let me try to better articulate what we were trying to convey... If you post a developer job on Monster, you're likely to get over 500 resumes. Over

    Because board seats are often given to new investors as part of term sheet "package". Shareholders can decide to grant a board seat to an incoming VC because they think the combo of the VC's money and guidance will increase the value of th

    It's not unreasonable for drop.io to burn $500k/mo? I run a ten-man startup and I can't fathom burning that much.

    Regarding whether or not it's too easy...that's something we wondered about. We decided we wanted a relatively straightforward initial screen rather than an complex brainteaser. So I would by no means liken this to the Greplin Challenge, b

    Something that's helped us: adding "text-shadow:0 1px 1px #FFF;". Particularly useful with webkit. Adding the drop shadow ratchets up the perceived anti-aliasing, even if the text is on top of a white background.

    Thanks, yeah we've had FBConnect for a while but temporarily deactivated it last week because it started to act up. Should be back live soon.

    Thanks for the bug report; we'll fix that shortly. And will also consider ways we can add more navigation options while still keeping the UI as sparse as possible...maybe we add those filters but hide them by default?

    Seatdata.com has these photos for most major venues and licenses them to ticket sites. We need to explore partnering with them.

    Good point thanks. Have heard this from a few different folks now. We need to make it more obvious that people should zoom in. Will push a fix soon.
