Welcome John and Steve

We're excited to announce two recent hires. John Kalucki is an experienced distributed systems architect well versed in relational messaging as the former co-founder of San Francisco based SQLstream. Steve Jenson is a familiar face for a few of us here at Twitter HQ because he's a former Google software engineer known for his work scaling Blogger and Blogspot—a service which tens of millions of people use on a regular basis.

Join us in welcoming these two superstars to the Twitter team. They are already digging in, getting up to speed, and helping us make Twitter better. Good things to come.

Hi...

I've been hearing so much about twitter lately that I had to check it out more seriously this time!

You guys have done really well... and it must be a great atmosphere working on such a terrific site!

I'm really happy to see new people coming on board to make things better but I would really like to see you bring on people that keep the community updated. The entire Twitter community has supported Twitter for a long time despite many different issues but recently I think the community is feeling really left out and it's just creating more frustration. There was once a time that those who ran Twitter were actually part of the community but recently it seems like that has changed and many of us are feeling alienated by the people we defended when various bloggers attacked Twitter's reliability.

Why are all the guys at Twitter so hot? =) Too bad there are no open marketing jobs, or else I would totally apply! Go Bears!
