Steve blogs about the opinion piece about that Chris Thompson writes before he leaves town on vacation. He writes:

"Cleveland doesn't know how to brag. CrainTech has tried to address that by providing an outlet for news and information about lots of very interesting companies. But we're just scratching the surface. Cleveland needs to do a better job of touting its strong, world-class tech companies that even its own residents don't know much about - such as Thunderstone, OverDrive, and Accelent. Despite years of talk, there is still no promotional web site for what is great about Cleveland's technology community. Various nonprofit and for profit entities (including CrainTech) have web sites that promote their own initiatives. But we need an "umbrella site" that embraces and supports all of "Creative Cleveland" - the entrepreneurial, high-tech crowd that is reshaping the city. Local web developers don't need another pro bono project, but someone needs to take on the challenge of creating a web site that brags about the great companies and tremendous opportunities in Cleveland.

There's only one company that I'd like to see do it. They're in the thick of the Creative Corridor. But you know what? Why burden them if they're too busy to do it? As a growing company, they need to be making money, not doing more pro bono work. Why can't a bunch of us roll up our sleeves, and do it ourselves? Click on the title of this post to see what I said about it on CrainTech's message boards. Now where did I put Tim Moran's email?
