Reid: The first one and this is what is one of the delights about creating a tool. The first one that totally stunned me was in 200 4. What happened is- I don’t know this but I just heard about it through a testimonial-this engineer moved from Silicon Valley to Denver in the United States and he was trying to decide which company he wants to work for. And so what he did is, he searched for other people like him- like who had his interest, his technical interest, his technical skill-set and he saw which companies are most beneficial to be worked at and finds three companies and that is interesting. And then he went and looked at the jobs and positions in those companies. I was like- wow that is actually a clever application of people search, which I hadn’t thought of. Where do people like me work because I want to work with other people that are like me and those are places where I could be successful and that was the very first one was “wow, that is interesting!”
