Monkeynotions

Like the corpspeak? I’ve decided to join startup land. There I’ve blogged it, so I guess that makes it real =).

This will be the first time I’ve worked at a company that had less than several thousand people, so I’m expecting to learn a lot. It’s scary and exciting at the same time, but what’s life without a bit of both? I’ll let you guys know a little more as we become more public =).

AOL has been a wild ride and has given me opportunities to do certain things I’ve could not have done elsewhere. I was able to meet all these great influencers from organizations (Mobile Monday, e27, SFWIN, STIRR, Lunch 2.0, Women2.0 , and New Tech Meetup… did I catch everyone??) and connect some of them to AOL. I also learned about design within a large organization, design with cross functional teams, and what it takes to make a web product =P, oh and met some awesome folks (Mike, Kevin, Cindy, Frank, Dossy, Edwin, John, and Shawn + others who do not blog) .

The folks in the Mountain View office are cooler than being *ice cold* and really contribute to AOL’s current overall strategy…so I leave with a shameless plug: If you are looking for a place to host your geek event, contact Mike Macadaan (mlmacadaan[at]aol[dot]com). While you’re at it, check out his fun blog: gumhouse.
