Happy Holidays and a Prosperous New Year!

BeansTalk is going on holiday (literally and figuratively) through 2 January, 2007. We'll (the ME and immediate staff) be out of the country so we won't be able to keep up our daily posts, but we'll be back with a vengeance right at the dawn of 2007.

As you might have noticed, we're trying to enhance our coverage with not only the what and where, but adding the whys. Translated, that means we're editorializing, with shades of reviews of many items we post here.

We hope you've had a fantastic year. It was very eventful for us, full of epiphanies.

Join us in welcoming the addition this year of two new staff members. PR reps: Please feel free to send them pitches (if your pitch is accepted, send text only with a lo-res jpeg).

Andrea Goodwin, associate editor (agoodwin@beanstalkbiz.com)
Beth Zerilli, contributing editor (bzerilli@beanstalkbiz.com)

Peace to everyone.
