Launches and changes

May 18, 2012 clicker updates

BusOps alum, Steve Cohn, has a launch – http://www.irrive.com/site/team.  Go Steve.  I’ve been pinging with him for  early beta access, I’m confident I’m on the short list!

Some birds have left the roost, from marketing: Campbell Foster and Jon Nevitt.   With CAB coming in a few weeks, feels timely that they are leaving.

In other news, I had lunch with Tom Shields yesterday, founder of Yieldex, which now employs a handful of Thornton ex-Clickers.  Tom and Yieldex are doing great!

Glad it was Google, for a number of reasons

Mar 15, 2012 news stories

Could have Microsoft.  Could have ben Yahoo.  When I read this AM that Yahoo may be shopping (unloading) their ad tech business, made me all the happier that DCLK didn’t go there.  MS has proven that they don’t want to be in the business, despite not actually selling it.
