FYI, the people who founded Zappos did not create Tellme. You're probably thinking of Alfred Lin who actually joined Zappos as the CFO much later (after Tony), and happened to be a VP at Tellme. At least according to Tony's book, he was a PhD student before he joined Zappos.
The founder of Zappos is actually Nick Swinmurn even though many people still think it was Tony. Tony probably owns a lot more of Zappos than Nick, but neither of them had anything to do with Tellme.
Mike McCue was the founder of Tellme who most recently departed from Microsoft, and before Tellme he worked at Netscape.
