Gay.com

Mark and I are working together again. We started over a decade ago, using a spare bedroom in our San Francisco home, chatting with strangers on an old Mac, using software developed at a daily pace.

Gay.com's success was the result of a perfect storm of synchronicity. We bought the "gay.com" URL/domain in 1994, not knowing how we'd use it - although we assumed we'd develop some kind of business online. We always talked about being business partners, and the Web was just beginning to grow in the SF Bay Area.
