    Interesting ... never heard of most of them either, but it's funny that Google bought a couple of those startups from the Ex-Googlers for $50M for one of them .... and then hired them back as the product manager.

    Shows what can happen when really smart people work together instead of competing. I don't think any of the companies featured will be the next Google but a few of them look like they could have big futures.

    Thanks John that was a very enlightening article. Just goes to show you the Mr. Gates was not the only one at Google that has a higher than average IQ. I also have not heard of most of these sites but I have heard of a couple. Do not go to them much but have seen them somewhere.
