Last weekend for us was…a bit tough, but AMAZING! In case you don’t remember, we participated in the NYC Century Bike Tour. For the first time, I might add. The bike team trained really hard on and off the road and was determined to complete the 100 miles that we signed up for. On the [...]
It’s finally here. The weekend that we ride in the NYC Century Bike Tour! Yan Tsirklin, our dashing Co-Founder, will be leading the team in the 100 mile ride on Sunday (9/12/10).

First, let me start by saying that Social Media Day is a genius idea. I think it makes us stop and think about all the social benefits brought on by media. It truly is a revolution and has changed so many lives. As a user of various social networking tools, I have to say that [...]
