I asked this a while ago on here because I was wondering if parakey was going to end up integrated into Facebook. A YC founder answered that he didn't think Parakey had gotten very far before the acquisition and that it was a talent acquisition.

#14His site was indeed hacked recently, and it was harming my computer inasmuch as it was crashing firefox. I consider the google warning to be late but not incorrect.
Here's an email I sent to Joe on 2007-12-17. (It's really hard to make these kinds of messages not look like spam!)
----- Hey, I was checking out iui tonight, and your site seems broken.
The front page has JS that does something involving "fredkidns.com" and it repeatedly causes my firefox to fill memory. Kazehakase is able to show the broken page, though.
I think the blog top page is also hacked; other internal pages seem to be ok.

I apologize for the slang use of the word 'hacked' up there.
I meant 'vandalized, probably by means that required deep knowledge of a system to initially develop, although the vandal was unlikely the same person as the hacker who came up with the exploit'.

It's Google's malware warning system gone astray. Joe Hewitt is the creator of Firebug and a Y Combinator company founder and all around good guy.

I am not Joe Hewitt. I was in the same YC program as Joe, however, and my name also happens to be Joe.
