Slickdeals thinks 20 employees is enough

Guess so with all the free mods!

Even though deal-sharing site Slickdeals has been around for more than a decade, CEO Bryant Quan says it's still pretty much in startup mode.

With more than a 100 million page views every month and only 20 full-time employees, there's a ratio of 5 million customers to one employee, which means Slickdeals had to build a team flexible enough to wear many hats and make decisions independently.

I heard some mysterious Chinese corporations have been counterfeiting Schooby snacks using large amounts of melamine, and sending them out. OMG

It is one thing to say the information is publicly available. It is quite another to gather and post it in an easily accessible form. I'm amazed it hasn't been redacted yet. I'm actually a bit impressed it has been allowed to remain.

I wouldn't eat any of "schooby's cookies" that mysteriously appeared in your mailbox anytime soon though boltman2007. Evillaugh

It's all out for public consumption.... I did no wrong. They signed up on a publicly available social network site... this should be a lesson to others... once its out there.... its there forever. Byran Q could have just let us know who Mr. SD was in the first place. Rather than peaking my (and others) interest.

It was still kinda creepy of you!

I play with marg_fan about stalking him, but I would never post real stuff about him like that.

You took the fun out of guessing who Mr. SD is! Ranting

Then I'll take my ball and go home..humph.

Seriously...who cares. It's like any other organization the customers SHOULD know who runs it. This is not some secret society sworn to secrecy.

I'm the product just like you... that's why advertisers stalk me here because SD's shared my information of what I was searching for.

Whatever if you can't handle the truth... and its not like I'm the first SDer to post that link..... I found it in a SD archive.

i agree with marg.

i don't think you'd appreciate it if someone posted your personal info on a public forum that uses alter-ego names. next time someone post some personal shit of yours, i'll leave it up and give you the same shit reason you gave. Wink2

I half agree with boltman and marg. I definitely wouldn't want my personal info to be released...but if say I were a CEO of ABC Corp., well, my public info is already going to be out there.

All bolt posted were linkedin profiles, which are supposed to be found by other employees, and all it does is state employees at the company.

If you guys were just kidding, then it flew way over my head. laugh out loud

You could take your ball and go home or:

I can't tell you how many times people (ie Serra Wink )has made me want to tuck tail and run.

Yes, we could have google it, but it is our secret society. it's more fun that way.

Ehh *personal opinion* I saw it when it was first posted and was tempted to remove it since I don't like having my full name plastered on the public forum but do accept that it is public knowledge if anyone looked it up on linkedin...but then they would have to look it up.

Some of us have had personal threats... keep in mind we have over 140K active users and not all are happy when we have to discipline. So..making it even easier for them to locate me (especially as a single woman) doesn't make me happy. Also some of these people listed have small children.

I don't hold anything against him for posting the stuff since it is accessible publicly...but I would have been more at ease and happier had it not been plastered here.

Just my thoughts.


And VQ..they are not the same person Stick Out Tongue I cannot give proof though. How about you let us know if you ever visit Vegas and maybe..just maybe if the timing is right you can meet them both...at the same time Faint laugh out loud

The first salvo in the good cop, bad cop routine I expect.

Next it will be threats and warning points and then I'll just disappear... and in a few days I'll be posting again but something won't be quite right about the way I post... I'll tell everyone that I've seen proof that they're not the same person and everything is [abed]cool. cool cool cool.[/abed]. Then I'll slowly fade away never to be heard from again...

WAKE UP SHEEPLE! It's all been right here in front of us all the time! How could Mr. SD register an account before there was even a website to register on? How come BryantQ knows what browser everyone is using? WHY DID RAY NAGIN HAVE TO CHANGE HIS NAME?

I'll provide more of the evidence I've collected via PM to the right people. I have multiple copies distributed to lots of different places so don't think you can silence me so easily! WE WILL HAVE THE TRUTH! Whee

Yes, seeing your full name made me feel uneasy schooby. The rest, meh.

VQ, it is strange that boltman2007 didn't link bryantq's info. It is as if he knew that he and Mr SD are one and the same. Scratchchin

Anyone seen boltman2007 lately? Hide
