Though I cannot quantify the quality of my one year stay with my cobloggers at b5media, the financial institutions have pegged it at $2 million USD. Of course, this invested money was meant to grow the business into something we vaguely describe to be totally awesome in the coming months.
Of course if it one thing we aren’t, we aren’t a dollar bill. We can’t please everyone and this is the reality of such things. We’ve been getting a lot of flack from 9rules as well as from Valleywag. But again, this is the blogosphere, and flack like this is expected.
On a personal level, our internal forums have been packed with replies after Jeremy announced his $2M birthday present. People have also asked me if this means that I’ll go full time pro. Well, the answer to that is still to be determined, but I assure you that going full time into problogging will have me consider more than just a capital infusion. A lot of it has to do with the learning experiences behind my job. So if going full time into this will help me grow professionally, then why not?
b5media has a lot of potential because of the people behind it. I would like to guess that the infusion will be used to grow and retain talent and find other creative means and ways of developing REACH. Of course, I could be wrong here but this seems like the logical step.
But enough of that now. It’s the weekend, and we’re still trying to overload our internal forums with rave spam. Hehe.
UPDATE: Aaron Brazell, our new Technology Manager has posted the roundup of the $2M buzz in his blog.
