Google Nose is AWESOME! Think of the possibilities. This technology has the chance to improve the lifes of thousands stressed with long-distance relationsships.

Man... this will revolutionize cyber-sex as we know it!

stereotypical job ad for a startup probably by 500 startups http://sfbay.craigslist.org/sfc/sof/3715368374.html saw it posted on YC jobs

Are you sure this isn't real?

On second thought it could be real, but the notion of a startup needing a VP of engineering with 5 years of rails 3 experience seems absurd given how long rails 3 has been in existence.

edit: there are several articles about this company since 2011, so I guess it is real...

edit2: it's hard to take seriously with this line from the ad: "Yes, we realize that the best technology leaders are highly sought after. So why should you join us over that sexy social - local - mobile - sharing start-up?"
