Just curious, really. Not really a part of the YC crowd so I haven't the slightest clue.

I believe NickB is one of the FriendFeed guys, though I could be wrong. I remember a FriendFeed staff member going by FirstnameL, anyway.

Maybe hes just the MrBabyMan of HN — just like everyone else here, except he really likes submitting ALL the cool stuff he finds on a daily basis?

Though I am interested what his startup is. :-)

Don't think he's FriendFeed, the whole FriendFeed team is listed on their website and there's no Nick:

http://friendfeed.com/about/team

NickB also said his startup uses a lot of Ruby on Rails, and Friendfeed's a mostly-Python shop.
