In 1990 he published a series of scripts to search a lists of credits collected by a USENET group. Moonlighting while working for Hewlett-Packard during the day, Needham assembled a community from around the world to build what grew into one the most popular movie sites, [http://www.imdb.com/ IMDb]. In 1998, Amazon purchased IMDb and the site now attracts over 250M unique visitors each month on the web and its mobile app. Col will share how he built up a part-time hobby with several unknown volunteers around the world into being one of the foremost expert movie sites. He will also talk about how working on a community site in 1990 was different from how IMDb operates today, and will share lessons for those of us working with global communities to build consumer products today.
