In the 5th annual online voting-backed Mobbies Awards from the Baltimore Sun, which celebrates the most popular social media and online publishing in Maryland, Technically Baltimore was voted the state’s best science or technology blog.
In grabbing the honor at the event, our Baltimore reporter Andrew Zaleski took to the stage and said, “Thank you.” ….He was never much of a talker when the spotlight was on him. Thanks!

The second annual Baltimore Innovation Week took place during the last 10 days of September 2013.
We shared a full impact report here, which included more than 1,000 people at our Kickoff party at Penn Station Plaza, featuring the Gathering food truck association, Baltimore City Council’s first ever hearing on the innovation economy, the first people’s choice innovation awards and more than 5,500 people across 45 events and 80 partners.

One year ago, we announced Ph.ly, a locally-minded URL shortener that was also home to an experiment: a weekly email service that promised to share the three biggest, most meaningful journalism stories in Philadelphia.
We called it the Ph.ly/NewsWeekly and after getting a rush of some 1,500 subscribers to start, the service has slowly grown to more than 1,700 weekly subscribers.

Now that we’ve closed the third annual Philly Tech Week Presented by AT&T, we immediately get the questions about IMPACT.
Who came? What happened? What’s next? The short answer is nearly 20,000 people attended, almost double last year, with nearly 200 partners and 105 events.
We’ll get survey results on this post as we get those answers in, but we’ll start bringing things together here.

Four years after first launching a simple WordPress theme (thanks Woothemes for Typebased from 2008!) to serve as the home of TechnicallyPhilly.com, we are launching a rebrand as Technical.ly, which will be the replacement for the Philly theme and our Baltimore site, a custom theme called StartupBmore from our partner there Mike Brenner.
Consider it a proof of concept that went a little further than a proof of concepts usually go.
Ahead of launching our new site, and a year after we purchased the Technical.ly domain, we wanted to share some lessons from using the same theme for that time.

In what is now a yearly tradition, at the end of every April we organize Philly Tech Week, a week-long celebration of technology in Philadelphia.
Now that we’re more than a month removed from 2012’s big event we’d like to share statistics in the interest of transparency.
While some events measure success by seemingly ambiguous metrics based on a mix of attendees and marketing reach, we like to focus on the infallible measurement of actual human beings that actually attended an event. A tweet about Philly Tech Week is not the same as someone that attended. A newspaper article’s circulation is not the same as an attendee, either.

In the fourth edition of Whiskey Chats, we speak to Neil Budde, new CEO of the Philadelphia Public Interest Information Network (its history, here), housed at the Center for Public Interest Journalism.
We talked to him about his history at the WSJ.com (Wall Street Journal) and at Yahoo News, and about what he plans to do with the new organization.
