About the Job
We are a small independent company (under 60 folks) that started as a different kind of address book, one that helps you stay connected with your network. Since then, we've introduced features that help over 20 million users see what the people they know are creating and sharing online - their blogs, the photos they're uploading, restaurant reviews, and much more. Recently, we've joined the Comcast Interactive Media team and will be the center of a unified Social Media experience across the web, TV and more.
