The people who just stuck to the same basic questions that you hear for pretty much every candidate, those folks don't tend to stand out. The candidates that stood out were the ones who said, hey, i saw the specific article come out that mentioned you all are thinking of releasing this feature. That type of question shows me that this person did their research. They really understand what we're doing and what our goals are. And then they also understand how that sets up within the competitive landscape.
