Heya,

I am proud to announce that I started a new company around elasticsearch  
with some very talented people, basically providing a one stop shop for  
anything around elasticsearch. The blog post says it all:  
[http://www.elasticsearch.com/blog/you-know-for-search-inc/](http://www.elasticsearch.com/blog/you-know-for-search-inc/).

Exciting time ahead!.

Best of luck for you guys. You've created one amazing product. Can't wait  
to have a subscription model on ES, I would feel way safer with it when our  
ES based search solution goes online and replaces endeca...

Shay has been quiet lately, so I knew something was up!

This news are exciting on many fronts. It is great to see Shay get  
affirmation that Elasticsearch is more than just some open-source  
project and also that Elasticsearch will continue to live on outside  
of Shay.

Love it! I jumped on board elasticsearch with a lot of people thinking I  
was foolish not to go with Solr and it's news like this (along with the  
fact it's a great product) that solidify my decision even more.
