David runs a small email and blogging company named [http://whatcounts.com WhatCounts], based in Seattle. Always a geek, David has been programming since junior high school and continues to do so today even while running his firm (which is maybe why it’s still a small firm). Don’t talk to him about that new fangled PHP or Python stuff. He’s been a hard core Java developer since Java was born, getting most of his early exposure from his days at Starwave where his team and colleagues developed the properties ESPN.com (then SportsZone), ABCNews.com, Wall of Sound, Mr. Showbiz and more. What’s WhatCounts doing today that they think is innovative? Well, they’ve tightly integrated permission email and corporate blogging. They just completed integration work with SalesForce.com and they’re building some truly powerful dynamic content features for blogging and syndication. Need a job? They’re hiring Java developers, HTML/CSS designers and support folks. Located in Pioneer Square, WhatCounts has been in business and profitable for five years. Email davidg at whatcounts.com
