R.J. Cutler: What I Learned From Anna Wintour
via kottke
Today is my last day working for Rocketboom.
I’m incredibly proud of everything we’ve built over the last 3 years, and am particularly astounded by the success of Know Your Meme. It’s gone from some goofy ideas about wearing labcoats and talking about rickroll to a legitimate research operation, with a dedicated writing staff, 30+ videos, a guest appearance by Weird Al and millions of YouTube views.
The Meme Database website I first hacked together over 2 weeks in December 2008 has now grown into a 500,000+ daily pageviews internets powerhouse, with a blossoming community of researchers.
Our Internet video aggregator & viral video tracking system Mag.ma grows more expansive & useful by the day.
Come Monday I’ll be joining the awesome team at 140 Proof here in San Francisco, and am excited to be tackling some big new challenges.

Because it’s Jamie’s last day at Rocketboom, we wanted to post some of his awkward (and charming, but mostly awkward) moments of the past three years. Submit your own here: http://fuckyeahjamiedubs.tumblr.com/submit
Wanted: Rails Developers
Rocketboom is looking for talented Ruby on Rails developers in NYC (front & back-end). More info at http://mag.ma/jobs
(PS: Tell your friends!)
It’s not in the job description but you’ll probably also have to appear in the background of a Know Your Meme episode. Oh yeah, and you’ll also have to challenge Rosen at Wii Golf. (via: rocketboom: magmavideos)
