In the summer of 2006 the idea of a company having its own blog was still the kind of thing that might get you a funny look.
Internet time sure does seem to move awfully fast, but at the time the Huffington Post had only just been founded, in 2005, and Twitter wouldn’t be incorporated as a company until April of the following year, 2007.
But we were fans of blogs, which at the time were quietly but rapidly changing from a great place to find out about music for geeks (like us) to being considered another of the many channels that comprise “The Media.”
So we created this, The Suite 16, using only a brilliant play on words (check our office address), some software from blogger.com, and a dream.
Four years and a couple hundred posts later, and now everyone’s grandmother has a blog, dogs and even cats have blogs, and most of us have some kind of mobile device in our jacket pocket that lets us read them on the train or at the beach.
And since four years is the classic time to schedule a graduation, here’s ours — a brand shiny new Wordpress blog with cool little boxes and all sorts of other stuff. Check it out, we hope you like it too. Welcome to the new new thing here at Shore Fire Media.
