Last week I chatted with Perri Gorman about community and Product Hunt at Startup Grind in sunny Redwood.

Here are a few tweets from those in the crowd:

Last week Cloe, Siri’s smarter sister, launched on Product Hunt. The unique, SMS-based Q&A service captured the attention of the community and the shortly afterward TechCrunch’s Sarah Buhr, added to the conversation.

One of the founders, Chase Hidlebrand, was in town so we invited him over for a quick podcast at our new office in lovely San Francisco. Listen in.
