Thank goodness Andy Sack is trying to do something about the lack of startup/entrepreneur networking in Seattle because compared to the scene in the Bay Area there is seeming none. Since working with Spock and now Loomia down in the Bay Area and commuting back and forth between the two ...
Ok I admit it - there's a little bit of vanity when it comes to blogging. Part of that vanity is checking to see how one ranks in technorati's popularity ranking. I am currently tied for around the 1 millionth most popular blog quite - i'm huge! ;-) Thanks to some friends recent linking ...
