Will Pate Joins ConceptShare

I recently wrote about the value that Marshall brought to SplashCast Media. Today another "star free agent" has been picked up. This time it's Will Pate joining ConceptShare. ConceptShare is based up there in the northern regions of Canada (you know the area where it snows all year) and Will is a canuck as well.

Will has previously worked with Flock and a number of other startups and currently co-hosts commandN with Amber MacArthur.

I think ConceptShare co-founder Scott Brooks made a great pick-up with Will as he has a large contact base and can help ConceptShare get some more visibility. Check out our review of ConceptShare from earlier this year.

Another great pickup was Forrester's acquisition of Jeremiah Owyang. I believe we will see this trend continue as big co's scoop up bloggers who have great reputations along with strong contact lists.
