			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Had a great meeting last at <a title="Caffe Umbria in Seattle" href="http://www.caffeumbria.com/v2/seattlecafe.html" target="_blank">Caffe Umbria</a> with Michael Dougherty, the CEO and Co-Founder of<a title="Quorus better connects sites and their users." href="http://www.quorus.com" target="_blank"> Quorus</a>. They are doing some very cool stuff helping sites connect with their users including a couple of tools that allow real time chat between users viewing the same page (very helpful in allowing users to discuss products in real time) and simplified member sign ups. It is a great way to add value to your site. Get in touch with them to help drive engagement and conversion especially if you are in the e-commerce space.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Since March of 2008, I have been posting on and off again on Sourcing Seattle mostly about human resources and organizational dynamics. In May, I made the transition from the government sector back to the Seattle startup space, and I am quite excited to be back. The Seattle startup space is full of interesting, passionate individuals working on a number of very cool ideas. To mirror my professional transition, Sourcing Seattle will now be focused on these same topics.</p>
<p>Stay tuned to hear about my journey in the Seattle startup space and the interesting people and companies I meet.</p>
