Boss Day Justin

Happy National Boss Day! Seriously. There actually is a National Boss’s Day. I ChaCha’ed to find out for sure. Brad, Scott, and Tom are the big cheeses around here as President, CEO, and CTO respectively. So I suppose we should pay them homage to make sure that Hallmark stays […]

The Naked Cowboy Justin

This week, Brad, David G., and Liza Dittoe (our amazing PR gal) were in New York meeting with some important advertisers.

Usually confluent with these are new interfaces, extra tabs, pulldown […]

Happy Birthday, Scott! Justin

Today is our intrepid and unflappable leader, Scott Jones‘, ___’th birthday!

What do you get a guy that’s got it all? Oh, that’s right, a five-layer search-engine-themed cake with his name on it.
Here’s to Scott for thinking up this crazy ChaCha idea. If it wasn’t for him being born, this blog wouldn’t exist, […]

ChaCha.com: Better than Matlock Justin
