It's definitely not the "typical SF thing" etc, but to anybody outside California, this feels refreshing.
Great job
A start-up is about creating/doing your own thing, making a living off of it(hopefully profit from it) and most of all having fun!
> Weird how many negative comments you're getting.
That in itself is a feedback too.
Now when your customer, Huge-Corp(TM), who is going to pay the bills for the next 3 months calls, would you rather tell them "let me put one of our developers on the phone" or "let me put our vice president of engineering on the phone"?

Here's my fresh blog post: http://savagethoughts.com/post/3772138359/whats-in-a-name
Seems odd.
2 CS, 1 Designer, 3 others. I count three craftsmen.

Also, the dance thing is just awesome.
I'm diggin' the company profile page as well as the team page, nice work!
Who else looked at the source to see what other words you could type in? Only to discover that it's just dance =(
Here's something polar opposite: http://carbonmade.com/about
Good for you guys for posting something creative and fun on your site. (No idea why anyone would be critical of this.)
Coincidentally, I opened a Wistia account just last week. Very cool service, keep up the good work.
I'm thinking this is a typo. I mention it in hopes of helping you present a good public image. God knows, I can't proof read my own crap.
I realized why it was probably breaking after seeing comments here about the music.
Also, at first I was worried about matching the lighting in the new photos, but these cutouts are all from different photos and the lighting was quite a bit different between each shot already. I'm no expert, but I just played with the levels in PhotoShop until things looked right. I think it came out looking pretty good.
This company arbitrarily decides what copyrights to acknowledge and violate?
So I am supposed to host my video with them, but how will I know they will respect my intellectual property?
If you are a good coder, do creative commons licenses not apply? Is this the tip of the iceberg?
Help me out here.
(edit) The page itself - I am trying to like it, but something about it rubs me the wrong way. It might be that it is too personal and overly playful, and people look somewhat unnatural, almost as if they were forced to look having fun. This coupled with sudden image swaps creates the impression of a twitchy teenager trying to look cool rather than a smug bunch of sociable geeks. Also your CEO needs a shave, looks kind of unkempt, and Jeff's photo is of a different scale, so he looks like a person with a small head.
Oh, and the dance mode doesn't appear to be working in FF3 on Windows. Typing "dance" does not do anything.
I will take back the unkempt, but I would still insist on Chris needing a shave. Now, back to the downvoting frenzy.
For the record, they all look a little bit unkempt (except Brendan, who I'm guessing is single ;-)). To most people, that's a job perk -- not having to put on a suit and tie and be perfectly prepared every single day.
