We are happy (and very excited) to announce the launch of the new Seattle 2.0. We took it to a whole new technology direction, but keep our vision of a place for, by and about tech startups in Seattle.
The first part of this announcement is the new team that you'll be connecting to every time you read a blog post here. Each one of those persons were hand-picked based on their knowledge, energy, good writing skills and by the fact they are knee-deep involved on the Seattle tech scene. Please, welcome to the Seattle 2.0 team:
-
Alyssa Royse (from Just Cause It) who'll be our Editor-in-Chief, keeping us honest, focused and bringing new writers/guest bloggers.
-
Matt Hulett (from mPire/WidgetBucks) will be our Entrepreneur-in-Residence, talking from entrepreneur to entrepreneur.
-
Rebecca Lovell (from Alliance of Angels) writing about the Angel angle.
-
Danielle Morrill (from Pelago/Whrrl) who'll be our Events Editor, not only maintaining the events list, but also writing reviews and a few cool ideas that we're backing.
-
Kevin Leneway (from Microsoft) who describes himself as someone that loves beta products, loves startups and loves technology and he'll be writing about the great products coming out of Seattle.
Now for the technology part... First, go check out the new homepage (
www.seattle20.com). You'll notice that it doesn't look like a blog. It kind of looks like
TechMeme, but it also has our own blog in there. And if you look at the menus, you'll see you can read many b posts or navigate through many Seattle blogs directly from the Seattle 2.0.
Better than that, if you want to be featured on our homepage you just have to write a relevant blog post on your own blog and our crawler will pick it up and bring our readers to your post.
Well, we can't be categorized in a standard way. We are just creating something new, but the fact is that you'll be able to get your daily digest of Seattle tech startup scene by visiting
www.seattle20.com, subscribing to our
RSS, or
signing up to get daily emails.
I really hope you enjoy it!
