We had a great turnout for Seattle Startup Drinks tonight, it was actually way too loud! Thanks to my friend Andrew Hyde of TechStars for picking up the tab, and everyone for coming out to join us.

Startup Drinks is a mixer for entrepreneurs, coders, designers, etc. (a “drinking club with a startup problem”) and happens once a month, usually on the last Friday, at a different location in Seattle. Feel free to join the Facebook group if you’re interested in coming to the next one.
It’s official as of today: MySpace has acquired iLike!

I won’t delve into the details here on my personal blog, but I did want to make note of the occasion and that I think it’s a great move for all involved. This is the culmination of a lot of hard work. Things have been exciting here and busy, busy, busy…
We’re all revved up for the challenges and opportunities that our upcoming changes will bring. This positions us ideally for continued innovation in tools for artists, as well as being the foremost facilitator of community between artists and their fans. The whole team will be moving to Fox Interactive in Seattle, and I’m looking forward to meeting everyone there soon. |
The last few years with iLike have just flown by, it seems like yesterday we had four million users, and now we’re past fifty five million users. Today marks the beginning of a new chapter! I’m so glad to be a part of this experience, and a part of an amazing team.

BarCamp is an ad-hoc gathering born from the desire for people to share and learn in an open environment. It is an intense event with discussions, demos, and interaction from attendees. It is an international network of user generated non-traditional social conferences— open, participatory workshop-events, whose content is provided by participants — often focusing on early-stage web applications, and related open source technologies, social protocols, and open data formats. Oh and super fun!!
