Firstly, we're working on resolving various issues caused by launch. It's typical stuff, and we're so on top of it. But in the meantime, a pat on the back.

I left the day of launch. Partly because I couldn't change my flights and things... and uhh, cuz I didn't want to. But I also saw it as an opportunity to give the team lots of rope to make mistakes. It's an ultimate sign of trust, for, ultimately, a hugely trustworthy team.

I love the people I work with. We've got it all here; the smartest both technically and socially. We've got guts. We've got problem solvers who are empowered to impact change. We've got humility, and a common bond of pure hearts, great intentions and the will to see good things come to life for a community we all care deeply about.

How could one not care about this community?

Speaking of which, I've never seen a launch with nearly 14,000 comments on a launch article and 4000+ on the poll that goes with it. THAT is unparalleled unless you can come up with another example.

All our are belong.

p.s. Digg.com's most popular article in the past 365 days had 30,000 diggs, BUT only 700 some comments... other articles on digg have had up to 2000 comments.... can you find better examples?

p.p.s. you'll be Sit Back-ing soon. hehe
