Re: Inc. 5000: 100 MN Companies Among Nation's Fastest Growing

TruScribe (which has been cobased in St. Paul), would be the 5th fastest growing on your Minnesota ranking, at #253 on the list. They were in Inc. Magazine's database as a Wisconsin company, as their other location is in Madison. But they are officially going to be headquartered in the Twin Cities as of this fall.

Shea, great point. So how soon before Klout and other influence-ranking services measure what matters?

Hey, brother, thanks a ton for everything you've done! And for the inspiration to make me -- sitting here in the middle of winter in 2008 -- want to embark on a crazy idea: to form the Minnesota-Superior Chapter with Jim Perry and Stefan Ronchetti. Hard to believe it's been almost 16 years since you and I met in the tech industry, and 9 years since the great news you'd joined Surfrider as CEO. I was so stoked to hear that! What's even harder to believe is Surfrider without you. But your legacy will forever live on, my friend. All the best to you and your family in your new endeavors. Hope to see you again soon!

aloha,
Graeme

And both are outrageously expensive, with high employee turnover. Minneapolis-St. Paul has 21 Fortune 500s and has solid strength in healthcare, medtech, software talent, consumer products, retail, and now robotics. Location on one or the other coast increasingly doesn't matter.

Re: VatorNews - How to get the most for your brand out of Pinterest

GraemeThickins — Wed, 22 Feb 2012 14:42:20 -0000

Skimlinks (note: capital S) isn't a new system -- it's an outside company that Pinterest was using to add affiliate codes to the links on its site, which is one form of monetization. I've read, however, that Pinterest has already ended its "experiment" with Skimlinks.

hey, Frommer, but you didn't tell us - are you following Zuck on Pinterest? and, for that matter, where's the link to your Pinterest page so we can follow you for, uh, visual updates when we don't want to read all that text? :-)
