Announcing Our New CenterNetworks Blogger
by Allen Stern on June 25th, 2008
Please help me in welcoming our first addition to the CenterNetworks team! Matthew is joining us effective today and he will be leading our silicon valley office.
Of all of the people I’ve hired over the years, this negotiation was the toughest. Every time I didn’t give in, he cried. I’ve never had anyone cry before when they didn’t get what they wanted so I gave in. Here are some of the demands he made:
- one monitor dedicated to friendfeed – it should only have his father’s friendfeed account on it
- a "fail whale" twitter bib
- a large office with barney cutout
- ability to nap at various times during the day
- fridge with gerber carrots and peas
- an iphone 3g
- a box delivered daily of barnum and bailey animal crackers
- a direct phone line to mommy
- a crib with lcd panel and wii fit
So please welcome Matthew, we are very excited to have him onboard. Those west coast blogs better watch out – we are coming for you now!

Hmmm. Is he going to be part of the video series as well? You could use a cute little face in there. ;)
dont you mean another cute face?
We’ve been hoping to hit the youth readership hard over at RWW, Allen – but there’s no way we can top this.
Finally, you guys got a decent writer!
J/K, big congrats and best wishes for the little guy (;.
omg i am so banning you on ff
He can cover http://www.nesting.com for his first post!
Allen- Always said you had a knack for picking ‘the right stuff’ :)
That’s lovely. Certainly he carries alot of weight as a CN ambassador.
