There's also the great story about Squarespace, FogCreek and Peer1 employees doing a bucket brigade of fuel up to their generators to keep things up. That's awesome commitment to their customers and business.

I actually wasn't aware of this. Sounds cool Can you elaborate?

Here is an article detailing the valor of the Squarespace team. Honestly I'm a little startled by how many sloshing buckets of fuel their infrastructure must consume per day. http://techcrunch.com/2012/11/01/squarespace-fog-creek-peer1...

This is so awesome. One it's cool to see a company care so much about it's customers and its reputation. Two, it's amazing how much fuel they need to fun

If you're up for a listen, they discuss this on the latest episode of the Stack Exchange podcast, with Anthony Casalena (CEO and founder of Squarespace) and Fog Creek/Stack Exchange employees.
