MITX Exchange works like a professional social network should

Ultimately this is what we want to get from being part of a t… Continue

It took me about 30 minutes start to finish to upload a video to Blip.tv, set up my Omnisio project, upload my PP…

A question -- I am in process of putting together a list of MA and So. NH interactive agencies, large and small. Can you point me to a good resource?

At 3:36pm on July 1st, 2008, Ed Lyons said…: Dean - we have to get together someplace where there's booze and wifi and remix this site to make it more useful and less intimidating. This thing is going to die on the vine if we don't get a plan together.

Let me know what your schedule is.

At 7:35pm on June 11th, 2008, Ed Lyons said…: Dean! We got to get together and talk about re-factoring this site. Let me know when you want to meet and chat about it. (I suppose we could do it here)
