That Whole "Internet Thing"
It always seems some folks push back on what I do and why I do it…as far as a career. Well, it’s quite simple.
Technology is the now and it is the future. It won’t own us, we will own it. We are and will be using services that make our lives easier. We’re using services to communicate easier than ever before, to share photos with loved ones all over the world.
And that’s frickin’ cool.
So today, I’m happy to announce a major upgrade to http://www.strands.com
The team busted their ass on this one and I’m proud of them. Where did most of the ideas for changes come from? You. Members of the site and the tech community.
Some of the changes:
* more prominent “strand” (center column) - fluid width
* cleaner UI
* larger avatar images (reupload your avatar image to get better quality at large size)
* less lightboxes
* new “share something” box
* more prominent play icons
* and much much more
How many times in your life do you get to be a part of an awesome company with brilliant people and a team who gets things done? Well this is my 3rd. I am lucky.
If you’re not on Strands yet, go to http://www.strands.com and click on request an invite and put in “drew” (without quotes) as the promo code.

Let us know what you think, we listen. You can call me, email me, tweet me, facebook me, pownce me, whatever works for you. Doesn’t matter where you are, or whether you think your opinion matters…it does. And so do you.
So this whole “Internet Thing”? Yeah, pretty much awesome.
UPDATE: Thanks for the call Mike. No, this isn’t Operation oOo. Will be announcing September 20th in Vegas though!
