We started outbrain with the goal of developing the world's best platform for discovery of high-quality, personalized content. If you think of search engines like Google as a platform for finding stuff you know you're looking for, you can think of outbrain as a platform for stuff you didn't even know existed. We strongly believe that "Discovery Engines" are going to be as important in the future as search engines are today.
A few more interesting facts about outbrain:
- We're big fans of Joel Spolsky, 37signals, Seth Godin and Dilbert.
- We believe in releasing fast and early. We hate long dev cycles and huge bloated software.
- We're a Java shop. Our apps run on Linux, Tomcat and MySQL. For the front end we use Velocity, JSF and Struts.
- We don't think that better software is developed late on Saturday night, or late *any* night for that matter.
- We love yachting (well - some of us at least... ;-)
