Earlier today while digging around the Web for details about Social Median, Jason Goldberg's angel-backed stealth startup, I came across a job Goldberg had listed on Jobster Inc., the career site he founded in 2004 and left as CEO last month (he remains on its board as vice chairman.) "I am looking for a superior and ambitious Ruby on Rails developer to join the founding team of a new startup that will be founded in New York in early 2008," posted Goldberg, alluding to the open-source programming framework for Web applications.

It seems the post has been filled. "We are not currently hiring any developers," Goldberg commented on an earlier version of this story. "The Jobster post is an old post, sorry!"

Over email this afternoon, Goldberg offered up a few more tidbits on Social Median:

Development is under way on a new type of hyper-personalized social news service. Investor interest after seeing our confidential prototypes has been very strong. We closed an initial small seed round end of January and will be closing some additional seed funding in February.

For more details, he joked, I'll have to buy him "a couple nice glasses of French wine." Let the cheap Bordeaux flow.

I know just where to take him: Blue Smoke. Drew Lipsher, the Greycroft LLC partner who appears in this week's Behind The Money video, and I had lunch there on Thursday. Goldberg would have fit right in with all the other tech entrepreneurs we bumped into: Music Nation founder Daniel Klaus (star of another Behind The Money episode); Sony/ATV Music Publishing LLC co-president Danny Strick; Ziff Davis Media CEO Jason Young; and Fred Seibert, the TV producer who mentored Tumblr Inc.'s 21-year-old founder David Karp. - Mary Kathleen Flynn
