Also they had a hacker cofounder. AFAIK Digg was built in PHP on a contract from its TV personality founder.

I was a cofounder up until the point where money was being taken off the table. From then on I was characterized as a freelancer/someone who developed a prototype.

That latter part is indeed the story I'd heard. I hope you've found something awesome now.

I appreciate the good wishes. I'm on my 4th job post-digg - some of it has been awesome, some not so much. Currently at Gazehawk, which is awesome.
