So, it has been a long time since I last posted on this blog. A lot has happened since then. I have started a new start-up Exava with Yeogirl, my former partner of mySimon. We are trying to develop the next generation search engine for shopping. We moved into our new office in Shoreline area of Mountain View and started recruiting key people to join us. It has been going well so far and it is exciting to be developing a brand new crawler based shopping search engine. Lately, I have been reading about history and current trends in open source software. Linux is coming on strong. MS is weakening.
