New Year is flying by

It is hard to believe that we area almost in February already! My birthday is next week and it feels like it has come out of no where...didn't we just begin this month? Wait...is it almost 2008?

Most of that can be attributed to the great speed at which Castfire is progressing. New clients, technology roll outs, finally a new site and blog...it is even hard for me to believe how quickly life is moving.

I have always looked at so many different startups that were considered over night successes. In digging a little deeper, they were 1.5-2 years old when they finally hit their stride. I was a little bummed that Castfire was doing great things, and we were making $, but just not running at full speed. Now, it feels like we are hitting our stride.

Perhaps the market has matured? Perhaps we have defined our niche? Perhaps we have moved past early adopters and are hitting a much, much larger market? I am not sure it is entirely important for me to define it, however, it is something that I would like to learn more about over the next 6 months.

In release news, our flash player makes me smile every time I see it. The functionality is fantastic for content producers. And it the value adds like flickr integration for the audience are just kick ass, IMHO. Here is an example of it from a podcast at last year's West Coast Conference Championships for the NCAA:

Yep...my pictures in the Castfire account from Flickr. We will be working with the WCC again this year on the production of the series and will include photos from every game. We are quite excited!
