Finally I get to share a headline with Tyra Banks.

That's really why we did it in the first place

They've done some cool open source stuff with Tornado too, very awesome.

This project looks pretty smart as well: https://github.com/dailymuse/catnap

Interesting I hope you continue to keep high quality companies on your site. Recently I graduated from college and it was hard to discern which companies were actually good companies to work for and which ones were sketchy companies.

Its really nice being able to see the place and people you will be working with. If I am on the job market again I'm going to check out the muse.

Congrats guys this is awesome. Huge market opportunity. It is ridiculous how hard the job search still remains.

Definitely one of the realest teams out there. Amazing how much people underrate them. Congrats.

Aka "What Color Is Your Parachute" turned into a website. Could be interesting.

Thanks - I actually, embarrassingly, have not read the book (I should not admit this in public) but it sounds very much up our alley. That said, you can do so much more digitally than you can in print, especially for people who might be exploring careers in so many different ways and from so many different starting points. Shoot me over ideas any time :)

The most inspiring job website I've seen. Makes working a 9/5 look pretty fun!
