WORD UP (sorry people, but it is true). There is a symbiotic relationship at play, and that part is never going to go away. FriendFeed is my favorite example — we launched them and continue to provide baseline support — but essentially the thing has become its own animal, and the guys are just rockin’ and rolling on their own (an overwhelmingly positive result, and we wish this...

John Eric’s brilliant idea, that in a sense has been started and squashed many a time here in Austin, alas — here’s to success this time around; a really critical mass of B2C + tech/marketing/design creative class types is building in Austin and it is fun to watch and be a part of it.

New blog design!
Hey everyone, check out the new digs! HUGE props go to Ellis Neder and Mark Pfohl over at NYC-based Sway Design. They rock, are easy to work with, and I highly recommend them — Sway has also done fantastic work for clients MakeMeSustainable and ZocDoc, which is how I found out about them in the first place. I’ve also been waiting for the redesign to get my bloggy game on a little more...
