Prismatic is one of my favourite startups this moment. Bradford's talk on Clojure West was amazing (you can watch it online here[1]).

Their blog bost on Clustering Related Stories[2] was one of the most interesting applied ML posts I've read in a while.

Trivia 1: Bradford Cross was also one of the founders[3] of Flightcaster (YC S09).

Trivia 2: One of his other Flightcaster co-founders (Jason Freedman) is the founder of 42Floors (YC W12).

wish the typography was nicer, esp. since they are in the news sector. But those fun-animations are definitely showing off the type of culture they are going for?

Definitely, there is no plausible way that the look of that page is intentional. The text is really messed up, overlapping, poor composition, things don't line up...

Are you folks looking at the site on windows? browser/os?

Definitely doesn't look right on my laptop, using Chrome/Windows 7. http://i.imgur.com/Yt5H9.png

Windows 7, Chrome 20.0.1132.47 m. The last line of text from people's bios tends to be left aligned and overlapped by the animation of the next person.

I don't want to be that guy, but as someone in the medical field, I take issue with OCD being thrown around so casually as a good thing to have. It's a legitimate mental disorder that can cause its sufferers a lot of turmoil.

I absolutely get what you guys are going for, and you seem like a fun bunch, but I'd be a bit more sensitive about using terms like that. It'd be like someone saying "We're looking for ridiculously good programmers, like autistic good."
