The Social Media Election 2012
Since 2008, social media has expanded beyond the young user demographic and is continuing to enhance its personalization and interactivity. Which is why it turned the tables this presidential election, taking on a more proactive role by co-hosting debates, sponsoring town halls and creating new ways for voter/candidate communication.

In Memoriam: A Thank You Letter to Steve Jobs
On October 5, 2011, we trickled in from lunch and launched our web browsers to find that apple.com had drastically changed. We found not sleek iPads or shiny iPhones, but an image of a man we’ve come to know and love, and the subtle announcement of his passing. After the initial shock, our iPhones and iPads were in hand to read more and share the devastating news of one of our biggest influencers. Steve Jobs was a brilliant man who changed the world through his passion for innovation, which ultimately connected people and paved the way for others to become innovators as well. Our heartfelt condolences go out to his family and in honor of him, we would like to dedicate this blog post to thank Steve for everything. |

CoffeeScript, backbone, node, jQuery, stylus, and other cutting edge front-end technologies get you more amped than a case of Red Bull. You understand back-end technology, but probably prefer to consume an API rather than write one. Musts
