Final Boss Form

Keep Meetings Short. I work in the film business, where schmoozing is an art form, lunch hour lasts from 12:30 until 3, and every meeting takes an hour whether there’s an hour’s worth of business or not. Not so at Vogue, where meetings are long if they go more than seven minutes and everyone knows to show up on time, prepared and ready to dive in. In Anna’s world, meetings often start a few minutes before they’re scheduled. If you arrive five minutes late, chances are you’ll have missed it entirely. Imagine the hours of time that are saved every day by not wasting so much of it in meetings.

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.

Fuck Yeah Jamiedubs!

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)
