All companies claim they have smart people, great teamwork, and lofty goals.
Well, so do we, but we are not going to spell it all out, propaganda style. Rather, what we think is more important to say is that we are truly excited by the sense of being an open group sharing ideas in all aspects of company life - brainstorming products, designing user interfaces, adding features, setting technology strategy, doing marketing, negotiating partnerships, and arranging finance. We feel strongly connected to our journey as a company and find it a great learning experience. We also derive much satisfaction from knowing that we invented a new way for people to communicate. We built a distributed Internet system that is helping everyday people learn foreign languages from each other.
