This week named one of the fastest growing technologies online by BuiltWith (https://blog.builtwith.com/), we help over 10,000 companies collect, analyze and act on their customer data. Everyone from New Relic to Rackspace to Twilio uses AdRoll.
With worldwide scale and over 20B events to process a day, ad tech has some of the most interesting problems you'll find anywhere. AdRoll's engineers, data scientists and product people are conquering problems in big data (HBase), machine learning, real-time processing (Erlang/Storm/Kafka) and UX (Backbone).
Turns out ad tech has some of the most interesting problems you'll find anywhere.

We make this stuff work for more than 10,000 customers. We're looking for smart, hungry folks across the board.
When I tried to emails jobs.engineers@adroll.com it didn't go through, specifically I got a reply from mailer-daemon@googlemail.com saying:

Ghostery has a secondary purpose. It's also "the eyes in the sky" that the ad industry will use to monitor and enforce self-regulation. In other words, it will collect data to ensure that ad companies are complying and affixing proper opt-out mechanisms to behaviorally-targeted ads.
First:Thanks very much to everyone that uses Ghostery here! This thread has been a great read for us.
Aaron is correct.. Ghostery works in the same way NPR works, only with data. Users can opt into data collection in Ghostery's options. Also, even if they do, we go to great lengths to make sure that all of the data are anonymous and only used in aggregate.
The extension will never collect anything if you don't volunteer it. The data are used in all sorts of ways to make the internet a better place, and to help us make money. For instance, website owners can use the data to see what 3rd party scripts are running on their sites and eliminate them. This saves load time, prevents data leakage to leeches, and - most importantly - allows them to provide a layer of privacy for their users.
The BBB also uses aggregated Ghostery data to monitor self-regulatory efforts - thanks to our awesome panel volunteers we can literally "track the trackers."
SEOMoz uses AdRoll (disclosure: i'm founder) for retargeting. It's been a pleasure working closely with the Moz team shaping their campaign...
We help thousands of brands with retargeting and, yes, the results range from "holy crazy crap" to "hot diggity dangermouse." We offer an easy-to-use platform, great ROI, and powerful personalized advertising (eg, LiquidAds.)
Like secret_target says, partnering with a retargeting platform gets you much wider reach and better results than working exclusively with a single inventory pool like Google. (Google has the monopoly in search, but not display...)
FYI: The AdRoll folks are indeed great. We've interviewed a handful of their customers as well as customers from many other retargeting platforms and have heard great things.
We see retargeting as a huge space with plenty of room for several players.
Does Dropbox keep a revision history of your 1password data? It does that by default with other files.
If there is a Dropbox breach, I would want to prevent hackers from getting their hands on older versions of my passwords locked with an outdated (eg, no longer top secret) master password.
