Why HN links it

HN readers link these posts by AdMob's first employee on founder Omar Hamoui's ideas and deals. One commenter preferred them to a WSJ profile of Hamoui as the primary source.

Summarised by Claude from a sample of 1 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.

It's with great sadness that I write this last post at MobHappy, with the announcement that my blogging partner and friend, Carlo Longino, died over the weekend

    I was all set to write a snarky comment about the WSJ doing another piece on how (retrospectively) brilliant some outlier founder was until I read the piece and discovered that "wisdom" refers to a series of blog posts written by AdMob's Employee #1. Skip the WSJ and go straight to the source: http://mobhappy.com/blog1/2009/05/23/omar-hamoui-on-ideas-an... http://mobhappy.com/blog1/2009/05/25/omar-hamoui-on-deals-an…
