Looks like Rus got on Twitter this morning and suddenly found a new home/buyer for HQ. Call me skeptical. He asked for suggestions going forward. I'm sure "find a new CEO" is on the top of the list.

They got $15 million startup funding from investors who saw its potential. If they had followed KISS (keep it simple stupid) and kept the 12 question format they would probably have lasted longer. At least through the weekend.
