+1 on the talent acquisition, although much like Slide, About.me, this shows that once you're lucky, twice you know who to speak to if you've gotten to a sizeable exit before. Also helps that eBay is looking for its second act to avoid the

I always hear it as "reverting from something back to something else", but I'm not a dictionary. Then again, I should have chosen a more gripping title, anyway :). "Netflix: Qwikster is history!", "Netflix admits: We don't know what we're d
