I'm still in the midst of my travels, but I'm staying at a friend's house where I've managed to get online and just wanted to post and say what a great time I had visiting the HubPages office last week. It was great to actually meet all the guys, what a friendly bunch! And thanks for lunch too, it was great to get a burrito fix after so much time away.
Paul, it was really great to talk with you about the site. It's so rare these days that the end users get to chat with the founders of companies and share what the experience is like on the other end.
I've still got two weeks of travel to go, so everybody keep hubbing and I'll catch you all again in November!

Relache, Thanks for coming in! We enjoyed the visit and all the insights. Enjoy your vacation.
Wow! - a visit to Hub Pages office sounds like fun!
Wow you actually got to go to HubPages HQ. Cool!
Did you have to sign some documents swearing you to secrecy?
Did you take some pictures to share with us?
Hey, gang! I'm finally back in Seattle. Whew, what an adventure!
And my latest claim to bragging rights is.... I got to meet somelikeitscott just this past Monday when I was in Las Vegas!
As for pictures of HubPages HQ, my camera was dead that day, but the Hub guys did take a pic, which I hope they send to me so I can make a hub about it.... (hint, hint)

Thanks for sending me a copy, Jason! I just added it to my Relache hub.

One of our goals this year is to simplify infrastructure and retire features that are seldom used. Deciding to retire something can be tough, but in the long run it is worth it. A leaner HubPages will not only perform better, but will allow us to focus our efforts on the features that are most...

I chose to not have my stuff pinned on Pinterest, so I do not know the answer to my question. I am just curious. Do you feel that Pinterest, with recipes, images, and other pins, diverts traffic from your hubs? What if you wrote a recipe hub and the recipe was pinned to Pinterest, and someone...
