CN New Employee Update

Written by Allen Stern - July 10, 2008

Last month we announced that we won the high priced bidding for Matthew. He's been a real asset to the team and we are noticing a huge traffic boost since he started. His smile has won over many startups and we are getting more news than ever before. And my gosh, can this kid digg? Just like his father, he's a social media expert. Percival better watch out, he's got competition now!

During one of his naps (in his contract, he gets 2 per day), I was able to grab this photo of him at his desk. Normally all CN employees start with a PC desktop and have to work their way up to a Macbook Pro but Matthew cried and cried and finally I gave in. But I told him under no circumstances is he going to get an iPhone 3G! We have to draw the line somewhere!

We are still looking for an events manager and head of blogger relations.

Just so I don't receive any further "congrats on your baby" emails, Matthew is actually Louis Gray's son. :)

Allen, that's a fun post. And great shot. It made me smile, which is much needed right about now. It's been a very LONG work day that's not over yet. I much rather be napping like your new CN employee. Maybe I should renegotiate my contract to have two naps per day, too.

Yea Miiko - sometimes we all need a break - nothing like looking at a cute baby pic for that! :)

Now go tell Brian that you want 2 naps a day!
