Super excited to join Google and take it to the next level!
Please don't stop blogging your technical deep dives! Your passion is an inspiration.
This is also seems like a smart move by Google. They want to "get more into social" (whatever that means), and PostRank has been aggregating and analyzing social interactions across the web for longer than most.
I just hope this doesn't reduce the volume or quality of posts to igvita.com - it's such an amazing resource for technical ruby "stuff".
Huge congratulations to Ilya and the crew at PostRank. Consistent and best-in-class execution. Awesome job and hope it was a huge pay day :)
I know it's hypocritical for me to say but rather unfortunate they're moving to MV. Would be nice to have some rich young people in Waterloo to act as investor/mentors.
Also, congrats!
Go Canucks Go!
If this buyout motivates more local engineers to start companies, I think it is a good thing.

And please continue blogging!
Kudos to them!
