I am the founder of Tweney Media, a content agency that helps companies communicate through blog posts, online magazines, podcasts, video, and more. I'm the former editor-in-chief of VentureBeat and was an editor at Wired. Outside work, I founded tinywords, the world's smallest daily magazine. It's a haiku and micropoetry journal that's been publishing more or less daily since 2000.
