Clixtr Wins Emerging Technology Award

Good News should be shared with all, and we’ve got fantastic news! Last night, Fergus, Brad, Fiona, and I attended the Silicon Valley/San Jose Business Journal’s Emerging Tech Awards since Clixtr was chosen as a finalist for the Social Networking category.

It was our first award and needless to say, we were all fairly excited. There were some pretty cool companies and the catered food was fantastic (and a welcoming change from the startup diet of pizza and take-out). It was great being amongst fellow technologists and tech enthusiasts – you can check out the event on Clixtr.

A couple of months ago, we had a blog post up about creating spooky Halloween photos, and in that post I mentioned a photographer dropping by from the Silicon Valley/San Jose Business Journal. Well, the photographer, Paolo Vescia, dropped by to take photos of the team for the news article covering Clixtr for the Emerging Tech Awards. It was a joy having him take our photo, and the team had a lot of fun during the shoot. Please note, our walls aren’t actually green, though it would be pretty awesome if they were!

And for those wondering, yes, the award itself is as heavy as it looks:
