This looks to be some sort of partnership with LinkedIn... http://www.deltainnovationclass.com/

Exactly. At first, it seems simple, but a lot of complexity behind the curtain and huge potential. Pharma and pharma distribution is a massive industry and provided they're able to scale and prove the model, they could go on to do a lot of other really interesting things.

There's a huge amount of creativity that comes from solitude - I've often felt that the biggest issue for me with having a "real job" is the fact that I can't carve out enough time to be truly alone with my thoughts. The grass is always greener... :)

I'm not sure it's really the number that matters - each network has a distinct focus - some non top-10 or top-5 schools (Carnegie Mellon for example) may have less highly-ranked MBA program/network but have a really strong engineering/undergraduate network. For an MBA who has an engineering background or is pursuing engineering management, getting an MBA at that sort of program may make a lot of sense. I think the real key here is that blindly following rankings makes little sense and that picking a program that's really right for you is what does make sense.

It's interesting that they chose not to include the ability to pull videos being shared on Facebook, Google+, and Twitter (these are all options in the web app).

Curious what the HN community thinks about that lack of "social" inflow - I always feel like those networks are better at curating video that YouTube's "recommended" stream.

It's really a shame that FG's comments were downvoted here... Can anyone shed some light on what happened?

New York, NY. Full time.

We’re hiring at Shelby.tv… like lots of other companies. So why come work with us? Because you want to put a dent in the universe. These are some of the things we do at Shelby:

  Work with (and watch tons of) online video
  Process updates in real time from a growing list of firehoses
  Use the best technology for the job (Rails, Mongo, Node, Redis, Beanstalk…)
  Develop and contribute open source
  Love the modern web (HTML5, CSS 3, JS, modern browsers)
  Stay the fuck away from IE < 9 and Flash
  Love every screen (monitor, tablet, phone, tv, headrest, IMAX)
  Focus on building an exceptional team that builds something people want

We're looking for great people that never want to stop improving. We'd would love to find a bad ass front end person (own the product UI and everything else our community sees) who is looking for a wide range of opportunities & responsibilities. But these “positions” are buried in this post because they’re more like guidelines.

We’re backed by some of the best investors in the game and we hang our hats in our own office at 23rd and Park in NYC (though we’re cool with people working remotely).

i'm a climber too and that actually helped me get noticed as well. i interviewed a guy recently that had "guitar hero expert" on his resume and it led to an awesome conversation. that kind of stuff matters way more.

I think one of the big things about NYC being a startup hub is that a lot of the startups aren't purely technical in nature like they are out in SV. New York has long been a mecca of design and media, and a lot of the startups based out of the city have strong ties to those roots (Aviary, Boxee, etc.) Most of the engineering talent isn't too far away (Cornell, Princeton, Yale, and the Boston schools are reasonably close) and I think a lot of engineers that appreciate beautiful code are also drawn to the elements of working with startups that not only are technically impressive, but also aesthetically impressive.
