Today at TechCrunch’s 4th Anniversary at their new HQ in Palo Alto, our friends at Rackspace just launched their new website building43, “a community for people fanatical about the Internet”. It features interviews videos by Robert Scoble and Rocky Barbanica, who were hired by Rackspace back in March. The website was built by a team of people led Rob La Gesse, who has been our primary point of contact with The Rackspace Cloud as we launched our cloud hosting services.

At building43, we spend our time focusing on what those new developments mean to you. We go in-depth, and discuss the practical implications and the ways your business can apply the technology.

We’ve designed building43 to bring together thought leaders in a variety of disciplines and organizations, from entrepreneurs to those responsible for the latest technologies. They will share knowledge, experiences and advice on how you can use these cool new tools and apps to make your business more successful.

Robert Scoble explains what building43 is all about and how it came into existence. His first interview on building43 features Facebook CEO and co-founder Mark Zuckerberg.

UPDATE: Here are a few photos from the TechCrunch 4th Anniversary Party & Building43 Launch.

Scott – thanks so much for sharing the day with us. Of course I feel lucky to be your contact – customers is what I do best – and building43.com will demonstrate that, over time.

REALLY enjoyed seeing you again last night. It was great fun.
