   The weekend of October 26th through 28th I will be participating in DC Startup Weekend.

   Tuesday, September 25th, 2007 | 6 Comments

   There is something amazing happening in the Washington, D.C. area and it is spreading like wildfire – we are finally buying into what we’ve been selling; a social network.

   It is simple – the Washington, D.C. area is full of some of the brightest and most talented people in this industry.
