Know a kick-ass PHP developer in NYC? Ignighter is hiring!

Ignighter is hot off the heels of our Series A and is hiring part-time PHP developers in NYC.

We’re a Venture-funded team of 6. We’re young, fun, we’ve got some rapid growth in our target market, but we’ve got a chip on our shoulders and a lot of work to do. We’ve been in the game for a few years, we earned our wings during Techstars Boulder 2008.

Do I fit the profile? If you’re young, hungry, do fantastic work, are looking to make an impact and make some new friends, then you just might be the hacker-ninja-badass we’re looking for. For a list of technical skills, check the deets here: http://newyork.craigslist.org/mnh/eng/2218416800.html

What’s in it for me? Great learning experience and the chance to get hooked into the NYC startup scene. A chance to sharpen your skillz, make a few new friends, and be a part of something big. Oh, and we’ll pay you.

Sounds sweet, what’s next? Send us a blurb about you, your resume, and a link to some of your work. If we like you, we’ll reach out and invite you to our sweet Union Square Office for coffee.

Know someone who might qualify? Bonus points / drinks on me if you pass this post around.

10 Internet Giants, 10 Years ago

I love using tools like the Internet Archive to see what websites looked like years ago. Just for fun, take a trip in internet history with me:

Each of these businesses are top 100 sites in the USA and have “grown up” in the past 10 years. Each screenshot is half “retro” and half “current” (either left/right or top/bottom). Click on a screenshot to see the comparison full-screen.

Apple: 2000 vs. 2011

Yahoo: 2000 vs. 2011

Wikipedia: 2002 vs. 2011

Twitter: 2006 vs. 2011

Paypal: 2000 vs. 2011

Google: 1998 vs. 2011

Facebook: 2004 vs. 2011

Ebay: 2001 vs. 2011

Blogger: 2000 vs. 2011

Youtube: 2005 vs. 2011

Wow, how the internet has changed in the past decade! I wonder what the faces of these businesses will look like in 2020. One thing is for sure: There will be many new additions to the Top 100 Websites in 2020!
