Doing Business with Friends: Friends of the Web Makes its Mark on Baltimore

Cassie Paton Tuesday, October 18, 2011
Friends of the Web is a company whose name describes it well -- four best friends taking on web design and product development. Instead of carving out what would certainly be a difficult path in the tech world of Silicon Valley, Friends operates out of a rowhouse in Fells Point, where the 20-somethings work, eat, and sleep. A recipe for disaster? Try a formula for success.

Wellness 2.0: Online Communities In the Face of Chronic Illness

Katharine Schildt Tuesday, June 07, 2011
New Media has always been only as important as its users make it. Certainly there's marginal value in a Twitter post about a great new restaurant or a Facebook pic of a birthday party. Such things, however, do little to add lasting value. In Baltimore and elsewhere there are people facing serious health troubles and finding in blogs, Facebook, and other online outlets a chance to build communities that wouldn't have been possible a decade ago. Here, Bmore Media's Katharine Schildt tracks down some of their stories.

Jason Policastro Tuesday, March 08, 2011
By now you've likely heard of Baltileaks, the anonymous group seeking to harness new media as a means of bringing enhanced transparency and accountability to city government. They've pulled an impressive feat in generating a great deal of discussion and coverage in a very short amount of time. Whether it's a disruptive force for good or simply a blip on the radar, however, is another issue entirely.

Walaika Haskins Tuesday, August 17, 2010
How many of us have thought of a way to improve a device or tool we use? Problem is most of us let the idea slip away and then kick ourselves when we see a finished product that's eerily similar to our idea on store shelves. Patrick Mish of M-Edge Accessories took the road less traveled.
