Welcome to the Vermont 3.0 Blog

We've been thinking about starting a Vermont 3.0 blog ever since we held the first Vermont 3.0 Creative/Tech Career Jam last January. It just seemed like a logical extension of the networking that was happening that day.

Our goal is to make this blog a place where businesspeople, students, geeks and creative types can connect and exchange ideas — while waiting for the next Vermont 3.0 event, where they can meet and talk face-to-face.

We're hoping that this ongoing conversation will help all of us gain a better understanding of emerging technologies and how Vermonters are using them. And we hope the blog will help broaden everyone's sense of what's possible here in this small, rural state.

Thanks to all of the bloggers who are donating their time and energy to this project — especially to Nate Herzog from JDK. He got the ball rolling in the summer of 2008 by volunteering to profile local companies who are solving tech challenges in new and creative ways.

So enjoy the blog. And please chime in with your knowledge, expertise and opinions by leaving a comment. We bloggers will all be using our real names when we post here, and we hope you will, too.
