Last night I attended the Web Innovators Group, Boston. Our client, good2gether presented as one of three “main dish” presenters. Im thrilled for good2gether and thrilled for Virosity. We won the Audience Choice award!
After months of working on good2gether, it’s exciting to have several hundred industry peers voting (by cell phone) for the product we (Virosity and good2gether) built!

Social: digg / del.icio.usOk, so there is some irony in that statement. It has however been a while since I missed posting on a weekday. My reasons: I started a new job. Dan and I have also been working hard on gossipr, a new (and amazing!) facebook application that I love, and I hope you’ll love too. More on both of those topics soon.

It’s a good thing I’m not in the mafia. If I was, I would be breaking my knee caps right now. I’d ring the buzzer downstairs and let myself in.

Last week I exclaimed how great the Boston Public Library is. There is one big problem though, that I didn’t experience the first time I went (probably because the weather was good): The homeless people take all the good seats! The Boston Public Library has an old section and a new section. The old section is a beautiful old building, with fantastic architecture and art. The new section is a 1970s monstrosity. I like to sit in a part of the old section where they have comfortable leather chairs.
