The past months have been a whirlwind of activity at Reside!  Not only have we been Rockin' for a Cause - raising awareness and funds through the KS95 For Kids program to benefit Gillette Children's Specialty Healthcare and Children's Cancer Research Fund - but we've been Rockin' the house with all kinds of exciting new and growing client business.

The world of Web for business is really taking off, and we couldn't be more excited about the role we're playing to help companies take advantage of the incredible capabilities of the Internet.  

Consider all the tangible ways we've seen the Web change major industries in recent years and months: eBay's impact on trade, Hotmail's impact on the Post Office, Skype's impact on phone companies - just some of many examples.  The Web is changing the face of business, and it is changing your industry right now!  The question is: Will you be leading that change, or responding to it?

Our team has also been honored with several media mentions, awards and recognitions in recent months.  Though it is my privilege to represent Reside as a spokesperson and awardee, I cannot take any individual credit for these achievements.  Everything that Reside has accomplished in its seven years is a direct result of our incredible team, clients and business partners.  I just show up every day to cheer them on and have fun with the Web!

So, to all of the members of the Reside "band", and to our loyal clients and partners...THANK YOU for your support, your business, and your belief that together - we can really Rock the Web!

Rockin',

Quarterly Quote:
"We can believe that we know where the world should go. But unless we're in touch with our customers, our model of the world can diverge from reality. There's no substitute for innovation, of course, but innovation is no substitute for being in touch, either." ~ Steve Ballmer
