Some companies acquire people for their talent. Few know what to do with that talent once they have it. Google is no exception. I wish Josh the best of luck. Wonder if he'll revive memepool?
Damn, that takes me back.
+1 for memepool.

Oh god. I totally should. I can't think of anything to do with it that doesn't turn into Delicious or Reddit or something. Any ideas?
I have a great idea for a app, but it is not related to memepool. If you are looking for ideas for interesting apps that could change the way people distribute information on the web let me know. It is basically a better mouse trap blog and threaded conversation app and I would love to see someone run with it. I won't bore you with the details, but if you have an open ear to ideas, I could sum it up for you pretty quickly.

#38Joshua's story in "Founders at Work" is one of my top three most inspirational tales from the book. The combination of creating something while working a day job (breaking the work down into 15-minute problems he could solve at night) along with the idea of narrow, vertical services that do one thing well--great lessons.
While I don't buy into the whole maxklein nerdfight aspect of all this, I do look forward to seeing whether Joshua establishes a new pattern (parlaying the one-hit wonder into a series of relationships and investments that take him to a higher level) or whether he repeats the success (more like Andreesen).
Good luck with whatever comes next...

delicious was the most successful thing in a long series of projects. there were other successes (but none as big) and many, many failures.
there will be more failures. hopefully a few successes, too.
