Mocoloco officeI’m not sure that there are any “Brown” blogger involved in the site, but I want to meet them because I feel that their blog is so damn HOT that the Sun in jealous. MocoLoco was the the blog that I truly read daily and has matured gracefully over the years (unlike Gizmodo).

Their office space is a testiment to their own thoughtful approach to design in general. For a great interview with the team see this.

People I Would Like to Meet in 2009 (1 of 10) – Jen Chung of Gothamist

leave a comment »

I have say that I’m a sucker for a great photo of a smart women. But what is most striking about Jen is the clarity of the Gothamist vision, broad (as in global) while still Hyper-local. Check the quote from Wired in 2007:

Today, Chung oversees a network of 15 city-specific Web sites that can steer you to the best dim sum or latest protest in your neck of the woods, whether that’s Boston, Paris, or Shanghai. Gothamist got big by thinking small: Chung keeps her sites trained on what’s going on in readers’ backyards.

Our generation of iPhone carrying globetrotters love and trust Gothamist. While the Grey Lady was doing it’s very best just keep track of the bappenings of New York, Jen and crew were building a global information brand with a fraction of the cost structure.
