I second the thought that 44mm seems like a ridiculously large round of financing for what they are trying to do. How could they possibly justify raising that much? (I'm honestly very curious) They must have something big and different planned

If they want to let 10,000 people create their own Facebooks that are 1/10,000th the size they need as much money as Facebook to pay for it. That's the best justification I can think of anyway.

I'm just scared he said "staff up" since that always seems to mean hiring the worst kind of people. Anyone know if he's still writing any code at all these days?
