Wired News Profiles Delicious Monster

By Scott McNulty

Leander Kahney has written an article called 'Monster Fueled by Caffeine' for Wired News all about everyone's favorite maker of media cataloging software,
Delicious Monster.

It seems that the Delicious Monster staff (there are seven of them at the moment) work out of a
coffee shop and pay 'rent' by drinking massive amounts of coffee and eating lunch and dinner there.

There are a bunch of interesting tidbits about the company in the article:

  • During Delicious Library had $250,000 in the first month of sales
  • the first week of sales covered the salaries that weren't paid for the seven month development cycle
  • Version 2.0 should be out sometime this year

The developers also shared a glimpse of where they see Delicious Library going; they are focusing on the sharing of libraries through Rendezvous as well as making the application 'location aware' so that it can display what the people in your area are buying (no doubt using Amazon's existing service).
