BBM’s end of the year release.
Marc went and created a viral press release, using his blog as a way to get the message out to the world. Take a look at this post and find out about: what we’ve been up to, what sites are live and how we see 2008 unfolding. Most of all BBM wishes to thank our customers, friends and colleagues in helping to build the distributed web. BTW This announcement post was then picked up and was #3 on Techmeme.com for a while. So then Marc responded to that -too. #Brian Colbert named President of BBM.
Brian who has been working on bizdev and legal affairs is just the kind of guy we feel comfortable with handing the keys to the Kingdom. Brian was a Wall St. lawyer, Univ. of Chicago law school, several years in startups and taught in Turkey.
