Bob history in less than 200 words. After being laid off by InfoSpace in February 2001, I interviewed with a couple of companies and took a job with iHub. I think that was in May. I quit 6 weeks later over some major differences in philosophy that I won't get into here. I took over as the funder, CEO, and code-monkey in January of 2002 and grew it from the 10k hits per day level it was seeing then to about 600k hits per day now. It gets nearly as many hits as SI. A lot of the hit growth came from SI, denting SI's marketshare and profitability just enough that we were able to acquire it a couple of months ago. I'm currently in the process of migrating SI to a platform with which I'm much more comfortable and adept.
