George Parker Does Not Hate Everything

Believe it or not, it’s true — there’s proof!

Kidding aside, during an appearance on Episode 63 of The BeanCast, George Parker had a few complimentary words for the work that Drake Cooper has done over the years for the Idaho Lottery.

The brief comment came in the context of a discussion that he and the other panelists were having about the PlaidNation Tour, their travels, and Plaid’s desire to recognize great work that comes out of shops in different cities.  If you’re interested in listening, the discussion surrounding the tour takes place just over an hour into the show.

P.S. – All in good fun George, all in good fun.

The Job Board

Just a quick note — there’s some fine-tuning going on around the Jobs section of the site, and the types of back-fill job listings that are included.

Hopefully this will help to get rid of some of the irrelevant jobs that end up in the list.

Stay tuned.

What Would You Do With $7 Million

Well, for our friends over at Balihoo, that answer is to “expand sales and marketing efforts as it continues to build its impressive roster of national clients.”

Or translated:

Balihoo raised $7 Million in new funding recently to “help national brands market themselves at the local level.”  It was covered elsewhere last week, but it was worth noting here as well.

The funding was led by OpenView Venture Partners, with additional contributions made by existing investors Highway 12 Ventures and Lacuna Gap Capital.

Congratulations to the team over at Balihoo, and we expect to continue to see good things coming from them.
