Center'd gets Scobleized...

I wanted to follow up on Dan's last post regarding Center'd in the news. While I am not familiar with this 'newspaper' he speaks of, there was another notable moment in the electronic news for us. A couple of weeks ago our founders, Jennifer and Chandu, made the trip out to beautiful Half Moon Bay, CA to meet up with Robert Scoble of Scobleizer fame.

If you've followed Robert, you know that wherever he is, his Nokia N95 is nearby, ready to take some video. Such was the case that day, and the result was a great in-depth conversation around the vision of Center'd, the challenges we are solving, and what's up with the apostrophe in our name. In fact, the conversation was so in-depth, it killed the battery on his trusty phone.

Some of the highlights have been put together into the video below. Check it out, and let us know what you think in the comments. If you'd like to see the full video (right up to the phone dying), you can see it here on Robert's FastCompany.tv site. Many thanks to Robert for the chance to chat about Center'd and our vision for what local planning can be.

Center'd in the News

I enjoy relaxing on my couch Sunday mornings with a cup of coffee and the newspaper, often the electronic version, so I was excited to find a story about my own company during yesterday’s routine. In case you didn’t catch it, the San Jose Mercury News ran a story about vertical search trends in Sunday’s business section that featured Center’d. Yesterday’s piece got us thinking that we should share some of the other articles written about Center’d since our launch in case people are interested in reading them. The coverage has ranged from print dailies like the Mercury News, to technology bloggers such as Erick Schonfeld at TechCrunch, to lifestyle writers including Erin Kane for Real Simple. Michelle Lentz from bub.blicio.us actually put us in a head-to-head test against some other sites and Center’d came out on top (whew!), and others including Beverly at 1-2-3... Get Organized, and Susan at One Stop Mom have highlighted the time-saving features they find useful.

If you’re interested in reading more coverage about Center’d you can find it in these blog search results.
