Academia.edu is hiring intern engineers in San Francisco. Academia.edu helps academics follow the latest research in their field. Here are a few bullet points that sum up the atmosphere in our team: - obsession with exceptional engineering - obsession with building a great web product, and a great user experience - intellectually inquisitive - we like delving into ideas, whatever the ideas are about - fun and friendl…

Just out of curiosity, how did you manage to get a .edu domain for this startup?

Domain was bought in 1999. They did not restrict .edu to accredited universitities-and-colleges-and-things until 2001, and academia.edu was grandfathered in.

Adobe is! My team in particular, too! http://blogs.adobe.com/charles/2010/11/wanted-computer-scien...

I applied a while back to Adobe through a guy I know on the Air team, he's since left, and I haven't heard anything back but your team looks cool! Still hopeful though, not quite sure how Adobe works company wise.

We are at thisorthat.com. We're helping users compare anything (and we're hosting the TechStars Startup Madness tournament) -- looking for developers and writers/editors

Thanks for the question, it's a very good one. We are still working on developing an information architecture that makes more sense. As it stands, we've focused the home page on our editorial content rather than UGC (which tend to focus on Bieber for the most part and has massively quality variance). As noted, some of our better content & features often get buried.

I applied to MindSnacks this month. They're hiring.

cough I'm seeking an internship for the summer. 2 semesters away from a BS in CS. Just got my first 'fun' test app onto the iOS market, cloudedbox.com/supersoaker.html. I'm still working on the proof that I'm worthy, but I cannot tell you how much I'd like to experience the techniques and tribulations of software engineering with a company anywhere in North California.
