This week’s article is titled: “In New York, a Tech Incubator Becomes a Hub of Collaboration” by Jenna Wortham. The article addresses the current ever so popular Twitter, and how an independent business owner, Iain Dodsworth, has used that tool for his own success.
Tweet Deck is what he called the service, which originated some time before his company had “the kind of momentum most entrepreneurs only dream about”. An example of the sudden surge of interest that the public displayed for his product, Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore posted a video to show their support. It was of them using the service.
Of course, on the heels of that video discovery were investor inquiries for the one man company. None of them rang a bell with Dodsworth except for one. Betaworks. He went with the company because “Betaworks had a track record in this field back when no one had a track record in this field.”
