Hey! Happy to answer any questions anyone may have here :) I'm a co-founder of CrowdMob, huge Hacker News consumer, and ex-YC-reject :P

Your site doesn't really say what you do. What do you do exactly? Also, could allow a way for people to control the auto scrolling on your site.

[edit] Also can you tone it down when you describe yourself as "we are elite". It can be mistaken for arrogance by your users:

   Even though our business is growing at an amazing pace, we  
   are hiring slowly. We are an elite, close-knit group of 
   people

Yo! Agreed -- we've been so busy on building/iterating on product that we haven't finished the site. Ironically, our UI/UX gal Jenn is working on arrows as I write this!

While we upgrade our site, here's a little overview about what we do: https://speakerdeck.com/u/m3moore/p/overview-of-crowdmob-may...

The new site looks much better.

Thanks for the feedback. I'd read that writeup on the website before, but in my head, I think I pronounced "elite" as "l33t." ;-)

Maybe "motivated" would've been a better word. We all love technology, and I think we wanted to get that across in one way or another.

1337 ftw

Yeah -- again, totally our fault for having an out-of-date site. We don't even use Python as our main language anymore (doh!). We're doing some really cool stuff with RoR (and other frameworks) and building a majorly Service Oriented Architecture internally ;)

With all the hubbub around Saverin renouncing his US citizenship, do you worry about the bad PR associated with taking his money?

[moorage]

That's a great question. I am definitely biased here, but in my mind The Truth™ is that he's been in Singapore a long time, and it's a great place for him to be. If you haven't been to Singapore yet, you should go. A16Z and we here at CrowdMob have gotten a lot of benefit out of working with him, so the results speak for themselves. We haven't noticed any bad side-effects, so we're really happy all around!
