Thanks, Adam. Christina will be a great addition to the Mashable team! And, of course, I am eagerly awaiting your next trip down South. :)

Great Post Kim! The Mashable team had a great time in Atlanta! In fact, we now have an Atlanta based writer, Christina Warren. So you can be sure that we’ll be coming back soon ;)

No, thank you Kimberly – your post was great. It’s so awesome to showcase the tech around the world and show the world that it doesn’t just happen in one tiny place.

I sure hope I get back to ATL soon – I need my chick fil a fix!

Good! I’m thinking about moving to Atlanta. The only issue holding me back is networking to get me some openings over there.
Anybody knows of any open position for a JEE developer, I can do both in UI(with JSP tech or Flex 3) and back end (with Spring & Hibernate).

Appreciate that!

Fair enough about Delta, Allen, but I do hope you stop by from time to time for a visit and that you find a new city you love! Let us know if you’re ever passing through. Thanks again for letting me represent Atlanta.

one of my goals with leaving nyc was to reduce my expenses by a considerable amount so i could do more traveling for my startup. i lived on delta for nearly a decade and that was enough.

the price differences are staggering

Yeah I would really love to see those two airlines here. Everyone in CA keeps telling me how cool it is to message between seats on Virgin flights..

Just wanted to add a bit here – I really enjoyed living in atlanta – while there is practically no startup community there – i do see a lot of tech and especially if you want back office tech or server tech.

The only real reason it isn’t my #1 city to move to is the airport – no jetblue, no virgin – a real shame :(

7. It also has some amazing things to do outdoors. We were #3 on Outside mags Best Cities http://outside.away.com/outside/destinations/200908/best-towns-america-atlanta.html On most weekends you can find me on the nearby Appalachian Trail, or a tweetup.

Great rep of the city.

Don’t forget http://Skribit.com, the startup from the first Atlanta Startup Weekend. :-) Great article otherwise Kimberly. I agree, ATL kicks ass and is taking names. We’d love to see more entrepreneurs at our tweetups, meetups, social media clubs, startup drinks, opencoffee, you name it!
