Congrats! I look forward to seeing how everyblock expands and seeing the next project you can cook up with your newly found "free" time.

I noticed you said the code as released will continue to be available. How about ongoing development?

Congrats Adrian!

Things have come a long way since that email conversation we had years ago prior to the first announcement of Django.

More power to you in all of your endeavours.

Congratulations! I'm a big believer in your vision and I'm glad that now you're making established news organizations see the light.

Congrats Adrian!!

Adrian,

Congratulations man, I've been using EB for a while as a local resident of Chicago and have loved watching the progress. This is awesome news for the Chicago startup scene.

We've not met in person but I look forward to meeting someday.

Again, well done.

Cheers, Adrian! This is great news, hope there is some minor swing ahead for all.

Well deserved. Congrats Adrian to you and your team!

EveryBlock acquisition and me – AMC on August 17, 2009:

Congratulations, that's great!

I'm hoping that MSNBC will be able to do something about the pathetic lack of info from our Chicago PD. (The petition gave me hope when I first saw it like a year ago ... http://chicago.everyblock.com/crime/petition/ ... now it just makes me aggravated)

EveryBlock acquisition and me – Julian Pretto on August 17, 2009:

Good stuff dude...

EveryBlock acquisition and me – Timon on August 17, 2009:

Congratulations to you Adrian and to your colleagues! It is actually a big bonus to be indirectly connected to Microsoft, it gives them a stake in Python and an Open Source community, and it will help push them further in the better direction they seem to be going now.

Also, a technical question for you or anyone else on this thread: where in the source should I look, and what would I need to combine and understand, to use your geocoding-from-text regular expression tool?

EveryBlock acquisition and me – frederic sidler on August 17, 2009:

Congratulations Adrian, but…
I'm still wondering what the business model will be. There are so many cool projects that were bought few years ago and there in the process to be sold again because no business was found or good enough.

EveryBlock acquisition and me – jon weintraub on August 17, 2009:

congratulations

EveryBlock acquisition and me – Tyler Bye on August 17, 2009:

Looking forward to giving my congratulations in person next week in Portland! Well done!
