    I started blogging 7/29/2007.  As with most people who’ve been around the blogosphere (or in this case burghosphere) that long, I haven’t been the most consistent blogger in the world.  I’ve had slow periods and months where I’ve had 40 posts, I’ve quit a couple times and changed the whole point of the blog a couple times.

    The current incarnation is being released 1/1/2010 (if your reading this before then, you must have tricked me).  The new blog will be focused on The City of Pittsburgh, Technology and whenever possible the convergence of the two.  I intend to cover the startup scene, especially in Pittsburgh or as it relates to Pittsburgh and Pittsburgh Politics and Happenings especially as they relate to technology and startups.

    • Hi Jon,

      My name is Valerie and I really enjoyed reading your blog. Pittsburgh really is a fascinating city! I couldn't find an email address on your blog so I'm sorry that I had to post in the comments section.

      I am currently working for a startup company from Pittsburgh that I think you'll be interested in writing about. It's called Rent Jungle and it's an apartment search engine that gives apartment hunters a new online experience. What makes this site different from other apartment sites is that it gathers listings from across the internet (just like a search engine would do for web pages) and makes them available in one place. It has everything a user could ask for in one convenient, easy to use location. From Facebook Apps to market trends tools, this site is truly a one stop shop. You can even compare your rent to that of your neighbors.

      I can send you 3 press releases to give you more insight and information about the company. The first press release talks about the launch of the site. The other 2 detail the apartment sharing Facebook application and the 'compare your rent' tool.

      I look forward to hearing from you and would be happy to answer any questions that you have. Would love any feedback that you have on the site as well.

      Thank you,
      Valerie Papale
    • Valarie, my email address is JonathanCavell<at>gmail<dot>com. I would be happy to do a little profile of RentJungle.com. Always good to see Pittsburgh Technology companies launching.
