FL Openness: Who’s the Newbie?
Alex was interviewed by Basement.org about FeedLounge, and this tidbit was right up top:
How many people were involved in the building of Feedlounge?
It was primarily me and my partner Scott. Brian, an intern at Scott’s consulting business, did a bit of work on it too, especially as we were getting started last year. We recently added another team member to focus on performance and scalability and allow Scott and I to return our focus to building a great application.
Who? We want to know, Alex. [By "we", I mean myself and Chris Meller, of course.]
[Hey, it's the old reporter in me that comes out from time to time that asks these questions.]
I don’t think he’ll appreciate being called a newbie. We may tell you, but we have to ask the other party’s permission first. Is that OK with the FeedLounge-needs-to-be-more-open crowd?

Oh, it’s fair! I just took the announcement of the existence of a third individual to be tantamount to a release of their identity. [That, and I wanted to dispell any stupid rumors that it might be me ...]
