Idealog Magazine… read it

So its a new business age, one about conversations according to Idealog, the only one we have ever known about. Old companies are buzzing on this change… but anyway this post is about more important stuff. Our twitter avatar is on the cover of Idealog’s latest issue. We are completely flattered, we read their mag and blog a lot, which we think says something about their content. “Its rich with ideas”.

If you don’t already, read it, or at least join in on the conversation by following them on twitter, commenting on their blog, or get thier weekly update.

(our twitter avatar was made orange by us… learn to love yourself)
