Ask YC: Who is Nickb and what is his start-up?

Just curious, really. Not really a part of the YC crowd so I haven't the slightest clue.
- unalone 18y agoI believe NickB is one of the FriendFeed guys, though I could be wrong. I remember a FriendFeed staff member going by FirstnameL, anyway.
- nostrademons 18y agoDon't think he's FriendFeed, the whole FriendFeed team is listed on their website and there's no Nick: http://friendfeed.com/about/team http://friendfeed.com/about/team NickB also said his startup uses a lot of Ruby on Rails, and Friendfeed's a mostly-Python shop.

- fallentimes 18y agoNickb - when is your startup launching?
- nickb 18y agoWell, we're working on a video demo and technical information and this stage. The backend of what we're working on proved to be very challenging indeed and was a lot of work. It also ended up being a lot more complicated than we thought due to the volume of data that we'll have to support. So we're very close indeed!

- ashleyw 18y agoMaybe hes just the MrBabyMan of HN — just like everyone else here, except he really likes submitting ALL the cool stuff he finds on a daily basis? Though I am interested what his startup is. :-)

- nickb 18y agoHi, thanks for asking! I'll start blogging fairly soon and all your questions will be answered. I need to start blogging because I promised a bunch of posts on Arc (including many modifications that I've made to it), Lisp, business of startups etc. To tell you the truth, I just didn't want to start a blog because blogging eats up a lot of time and time is something that I don't have in abundance right now. If the curiosity is eating you, you can always email me and I'll provide you with more info.
