On September 24th I’m officially joining AdaptiveBlue. Why?
It’s not because the semantic web is one of the biggest emerging web trends (or even because The Economist is interested in semantic web). It’s not because the company’s service is a recommended Firefox plug-in, with more than 900,000 downloads. It’s not because Alex, the founder and CEO, was named a top 40 under 40 technologist. Nor is it because of the quality of the investors. It isn’t the adventure that will be living in NYC nor is it the strong web community that exists there. It’s not due to the number of people I know there but haven’t met yet. And no, Leigh, it’s not so I can spend more time with Howard.
It’s not any one of these things, although they all contributed to the decision.
What it came down to was the amazingly talented team that’s passionately working to fulfill a vision that I believe strongly in. It’s going to be an adventure.
