We see the world in terms of stories, we love them, so much that we make a living telling them. We help creative people (that's you) tell better stories using the web.
We think good ideas want to be online, and we help them get there. We create holistic strategies that combine design and development with marketing and monetization.
When you leave us, we want you to go with your own story to tell and a platform to tell it well.

Clay Shirky: How cellphones, Twitter, Facebook can make history
While news from Iran streams to the world, Clay Shirky shows how Facebook, Twitter and TXTs help citizens in repressive regimes to report on real news, bypassing censors (however briefly). The end of top-down control of news is changing the nature of politics.
Twitter, Friendfeed, Facebook and the host of real-time-web feed services … are quintessentially distraction-based media; shallow on context and truncated into staccato bursts of conversation. These media play off of a very real psychological factor known as operant conditioning, the addictive need to return over and over in hopes of a reward… The dominant revenue model of the web today - the ad that urges a click - embeds distraction into interface design. The more clicks you take – the more Google makes in ad revenue (distraction pays).
