Tom Anderson of MySpace fame, looks for friends on beta social networking site with barely 100 total members.
Lindsay’s Comments: Check out Humble Voice, its like MySpace, but way better and it is based right here in Pittsburgh. Awesome. Even Tom from MySpace, yes that Tom, has joined Humble Voice.
Tom Anderson, of MySpace fame, seems to think 136 million friends is just not enough! The guy who has become famous for being the President of one of the most popular websites on the internet has recently registered for a profile on Humble Voice, a new social network that was just launched in beta mode and only has 100 members. Tom claims on his Humble Voice profile that if he was going to do it (referring to MySpace) all over again, that he would do it like Humble Voice.
I find it hard to believe it could really be Tom out there looking for new friends or even bothering to stop and admire a small new operation. However, according to the founders of Humble Voice, they say it appears to be him by all aspects of his account. Interesting. In any case, it looks like Humble Voice could have a promising future with their unique approach to the social networking buzz.

Pgh Tech Council: Customer-Led Innovation in Technology
I know the title of this presentation may seem overwhelming, but I am here to tell you that it is not. Over the summer someone posted to IheartPGH about a new company here in Pittsburgh called Spreadshirt. I was thrilled to discover Spreadshirt as they offer a super high-quality on demand printing, and I was not too happy with the IheartPGH t-shirts that we were linking to at the time. Long-story short I
know work for Spreadshirt and write the Spreadshirt Blog, if you are interested in t-shirts, technology or what we often have for lunch check out Blog.Spreadshirt.com. Spreadshirt has recently hired Jana Eggers as the new CEO and she is great. (You can read and interview with Jana here). Not only is she knowledgeable about all things business she is a great person to talk with. Jana and I have had a couple of conversations about socially responsible business and she introduced me to Nuts about Southwest, which is the Southwest Airlines Blog that is very well written and offers some great business insight on customer service. So I highly reccomend joining the Pittsburgh Technolgy Council’s Breakfast Breifing on Dec. 6th.
