Obama Makes the Call

Here We Go
I hate to be the downer, but with the Yahoo! news last week and things like the Revision3 announcement today, expect twitter to become the ‘good luck, farewell, WTF happened’ hub of the interweb, ala F^%$edCompany in 2000. Get on your moping hats gang this wave is going to be a big one. So long foosball tables.
Impromptu Studio Press
Congratulations to Impromptu Studio on more excellent press coverage. After a week of television coverage they were featured in a nice article in the Business Record. I serve on the advisory board for the space and it’s excellent to see the marketing and outreach plans coming together, and hopefully getting more bodies behind the desks. Also nice to see the DSM Web Geeks get a nod, we’re lucky to have the opportunity to showcase the space and to take advantage of the Shipton’s hospitality every two weeks. Kudos!
