The TechCrunch article doesn't mention it, but Mochi has made some major contributions to Python/Erlang open source and Erlang evangelism for quite a while, including the MochiWeb HTTP server: <a href="http://code.google.com/p/mochiweb/" rel="nofollow">http://code.google.com/p/mochiweb/</a>
Congratulations to Bob Ippolito, a true hacker and co-founder & CTO of Mochi Media and a guy behind many open-source projects such as MochiWeb, PyTyrant and MochiKit :-)
