We've all made plenty of mistakes in our various jobs and I'm sure we all learn and grow from them as well. Good luck to all. Actually I take that comment back, it was not very generous.

And it's always sad when people lose their jobs. That said, I worked at BOLT at one point and I'm rather surprised to hear senior management from BOLT got senior level jobs out of this. Why not? I guess failing upwards isn't unheard of in this or any other industry. But best of luck to them. Maybe they will surprise us all!

Jay and I want everybody to know that we are joining GoFish in senior level capaciites. Jay and I started another company -- Wikiyou -- a few months ago. When our transaction, closes GoFish will be a shareholder of Wikiyou and we will be discussing that company in the future. That said, Jay and I are joining the executive team of GoFish and will be working full-time at the company. GoFish, to its credit, gets that Jay and I both need outlets for our creativity and they have every right to participate or even finance anything we do. Matt:

What was a fair valuation for that company? Did they sell for cheap simply to acquire money to pay off lawsuit? Seems desperate to me. Ouch…that has to hurt for Bolt.
