I was about to say "talent acquisition" but given they're keeping the tech it's probably not the right term. But the price point seems likely to be about that of a talent acquisition.

Yup, not a talent acquisition. Matt and I have both moved on to other things. I'm working on a retail initiative at http://www.propersuit.com if anyone's interested.

Just out of curiosity, what makes Proper Suit better than Indochino or others? Also, where are your suits made?

I've never bought a suit online, but am considering.

Infochimps is bringing in the DataMarketPlace user base and community to expand its data sources and resources exponentially. This is only the beginning of what Infochimps could be. :)

I agree. Infochimps has a whip-smart group of folks and they're rapidly acquiring the resources needed to be the major player in the data market. Not only that, but knowing a lot of them, they're genuinely decent, helpful people. It's great to see another Austin startup rocking and rolling.

Thanks Cody!
