Sorta. Within the last month I put together http://exquisitejobs.com/ and started collecting interested emails. I aim to make it easier for quality freelancers and job seakers to find great jobs!

Sorta.

Not a company but I launched a re-done version of my file sharing service: http://dropsauce.com

Plan to work on it some more in the coming few months.

Also released a jQuery calendar plugin on github: https://github.com/glad/glDatePicker/

Sure did - http://gun.io launched in late September, with the idea of making it easier to find freelancers for microtasks, and to channel more money to open source projects.

I'm a single founder, and it's a boostrapped project, but I'm counting it here anyway. Things are going well.. I think, at least.

No - started one in 2009. Got out in 2011, starting a new one in 2012.

Can you elaborate a little bit on "got out?"

Looks like a very good service. I've already found better deals for a couple of the medications that I am taking, and one where a 90 day supply is little more than a 30 day supply. You have been bookmarked. Thanks.
