And I highly recommend him (and have to plenty of startups). Check out the interview I did with him after we got the video - I was so impressed. http://blog.hipmunk.com/what-is-hipmunk-one-fan-answers-that-question

Have you considered varying the annotations on your map to help differentiate apartments? Hipmunk did a blog post explaining their approach to this, I think it helps you to read data from the map and makes it more visually interesting.

Yeah, it's comforting to have a label for it. I had a bit of a catharsis with imposter syndrome in this blog post I wrote for my esteemed employer:

I thought the story was that PG wanted his own subreddit where nobody could downvote, you said no, so he built HN (this is a paraphrasing of hazy memories)
edit: If memory serves, Steve mentioned this offhand in a video interview I saw somewhere. I think this one, but I could be wrong.
