1 and 2 started a fairly popular service (whose name is blacked out in the image) and sold it to a huge company. That company shut it down and 1 and 2 quit their own company in disappointment (the photo below was taken when they quit). 1 went ahead and started a very similar service again and now it is one of the most happening places on the web.

Who he? What service did he start?

Good news everyone,

In the spirit of “Holiday Cheer” and all that, we are shutting down AutoRaja until Jan 5th. There will be a question everyday but it will not be moderated and comments will not be closed until Jan 5th. You can come back from your vacation(s) and still post answers on questions you might have missed.

Happy Holidays!

Started by 1 and 2. People like 3,4 have “signed up” for it and 5 is the latest addition to the list. What are we talking about?

P.S: There is a question in-between the two pic-heavy posts.. In case you missed it
