I'm sure this was just a talent acquisition. As far as I can tell, HumbledMBA wasn't doing very well. I think I remember seeing an article on VentureBeat saying they had -3 daily active users.

(For the unwary / spoiler alert: HumbledMBA is Jason Freedman's personal blog, it's popular on HN, and Jason recently started 42Floors, so this is basically a startup acquisition blog post parody. Unless I'm totally missing something.)

I see what you did there.<p>But really, great job with 42floors so far, Jason. The site is gorgeous, and I suspect the other critical moving parts of the business are equally fine-tuned. I'll be checking the new source from now on, and am looking forward to reading more great "humbled" content in the future.

LOL: Can users that don't pay be called customers? hmm. Return to that thought later
