I used to love reading John Carmack's finger-based blog (flog?). "finger @idsoftware.com" still yields the company directory listing (not sure if it's still up-to-date). With the exception of the CEO, everyone has a simple, functional title

How about programming languages as women? I met this little girl named Logo when I was just a boy. I have no idea what she's doing these days, but I still think about her. She was my first romance. I took BASIC to a dance in middle school.

Google/Yahoo/Adobe did you a favor. Dump the consumer-facing site and business model and reposition yourself as an enterprise software business, which will greatly increase your chances of monetizing this. Sell it to Autonomy or one of its

Who are you? If you held yourself to your own standards you'd link to your full contact info and biography in your HN profile. Otherwise you're just, by your own criteria, another anonymous spammer with no credentials, not to mention a hypo
