There's no such thing as bad press.

I've been a Xobni-skeptic since I saw the ads for product managers/QA people,
office, etc. They appear to be doing a lot of obviously wrong stuff. I know
they're smart and I do wish them luck, but it looks to me as if they're mostly
interested in enjoying the funded startup ride.

I found our office on craiglist. It is dirt cheap for SF. Oh, and we
negotiated the contract so that we haven't paid a dime for the first 3 months.

When you are making another sticky notes web app QA might not matter, but when
you are making fundamental business tools, I think it is one of _the_ most
important roles in a company.

That _was_ a good party. One of the things they discovered was that
anywhere.fm is the perfect stereo for a party, if you put it up on a big
monitor.

Thanks Paul! Sorry for making you endure Windows.

If that was their "we just got an office" party, imagine what it will be like
if they go ipo. Fingers crossed.

Jessica promised to do keg stands if any of her flock IPOed. I'm hoping we'll
be the ones to do it, but if another Y C startup beats us there we're
definitely still holding her to her word (and a keg).

I hope you do too. Can I RSVP right now?

XOBNI IS AMAZING AT GENERATING PRESS.

They have an article written about them in valleywag pre-launch. Way to go
Matt, Adam and co. You guys are truly a cut above.
