In case you didn't hear about it yet, Raincity has acquired Bryght (my Raincity acquisition story) This is the first time I've participated in a formal press release. As a blogger, I find the language of press releases a bit un-natural and it sure is weird seeing how 'press releases' work e.g. how some more 'traditional' websites basically just re-publish the press release as news without adding any commentary. Hmmm sounds like a lot of bloggers. Or how people respect or don't respect embargoes. Thinking out loud: would be great to have a tool to graphically monitor the flow of news through the web starting with a blog post or press release.
Anyhow just some meta musings before I have my first coffee! I am stoked about joining Raincity Studios! Go Raincity go!

This DemocampVancouver#4 is going to be the last one before Christmas and is at Workspace. We're looking for sponsors to host a social venue after the event because it was so successful last time.
Remember, we want to mix the tribes: invite friends from marketing, film, television, gaming, investment, or other non-tech areas, and encourage them to present.
Use the wiki page to also show attendance if you like, but mainly to add more info about the demo that you'd like to pitch, or ideas that you have: https://barcamp.pbwiki.com/DemoCampVancouver04
