I just want to clear up one issue. There are two full time employees working on building43.com - Robert Scoble and Rocky Barbanica. As the "lead contractor", or whatever you want to call me, I can speak with authority. B43 isn't my only job at Rackspace - most of us at Rackspace are proficient at many simultaneous tasks. We developed building43 using contractors (for the website, the graphics, etc). They were managed by a long term Racker who is actually responsible for the physical real estate of Rackspace (which is kind of ironic!). She didn't quit her day job to help us out. We recently brought in an editor (just before the launch) - but again, she is a contractor, and part time. Why is that important? Because I don't want people thinking it takes 5 full time employees to build something like building43. It doesn't. Sure, the videos are another matter - it takes someone like Scoble to get those. If you are interested in who built building43, look here: http://www.building43.com/site-credits/ Call them - put them to work - they are really top notch people!

Robert: congrats to the latest place where you let the world peer over your shoulder; sorry I couldn’t make it out there for the launch, but Building43 now becomes for me a place of daily visits.
