Good for Sparkfun. They've become my equivalent to Digi-Key when I want modules, dev kits, and development hardware. If they can afford a $100K online giveaway, I guess they're doing well enough that they'll be around a while.

I was surprised at the number of people in the last part of the video. It looks like they have 30 to 50 employees. That's about 3 times what I would have guessed.

We've been impressed by their service. Great to see such a lively, energetic and enthusiastic organisation.

Close, but higher. Have another guess!

"73 - The current number of Sparkfun employees (as I'm writing this...who knows what it will be by the end of the week). We started 2009 with 50 employees. Pretty amazing!"
