R.I.P. Tony Hsieh. We were classmates and became friends on the Harvard “computer programming team” long before his entrepreneurial stardom at LinkExchange and Zappos. 46 is far too early for Tony to have left us. He had a unique gift and will be missed.https://www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/tony-hsieh-zappos-luminary-revolutionized-045239863.html …
Tony’s first startup, LinkExchange (1996-1999) was where @Alfred_Lin, @apartovi, and Scott Banister all started their tech careers. A young Mike Moritz was their VC. @mlevchin was their intern. LinkExchange was bought by Microsoft and managed by @satyanadella.
Tony and his brilliant team of twenty-something-year-olds were early pioneers of Web advertising (banner ads, keyword auctions) well before DoubleClick, Google AdWords, etc. This is an important part of Tony’s legacy which shouldn’t be forgotten with his death.

I’m really sorry about the news Hadi - LinkExchange was acquired when I was in school and it was one of the reasons I was inspired to become a founder. Tony will be missed - thank you for sharing this memory
Amazing story. Incredible journey. Tony was a giant. His legacy will continue to rise.
