I'm still trying to figure out why there aren't more women in tech.

I think a more interesting question is what sort of responsibility Gowalla founders had to its employees. I've noticed that a good number of employees aren't staying on with the Fa…

I use Facebook to administer our business page on there. We have 70K+ users, and we get a lot of spam that is not automatically filtered out. I'm on there a lot cleaning things up.…
