Geohot quits Facebook and is back to hacking Jan 24th 2012, 20:00 Iconic iPhone hacker George Hotz was hired at Facebook a while back. That didn't seem to work out very long as he's no longer there. What's he up to these days? It appears he's back to hacking and coding. This time he's with a brand new startup as well. The folks over at BusinessInsider met up with Geohot recently to see what he's been up to. He's currently at a startup called Backplane, funded by Lady Gaga and Google Ventures. Backplane appears to be another social networking platform or a "new" way to social network from what we can tell. Backplane empowers social community. We are a canvas for self-expression. We unite people around interests, affinities and movements. We are just getting started. During a recent hackathon, Hotz was working on coding a program that would find all your friends on Facebook and put them on a map. Even though their project didn't win, it's good to see Hotz back to doing what he appears to be best at. Anyone besides me hoping he'll become involved in the iOS jailbreak community again?
