Who's growing in 2009?

It's Tuesday morning, and more than 100 people are about to gather at the Sheraton in Towson to listen to these four people talk about how their companies are growing in a recession. It's a talk hosted by the Greater Baltimore Technology Council.

From the left, it's Art Jacoby, the panel moderator and business growth adviser; Tim Lorello, global commercial sales senior V.P. and chief marketing officer, Telecommunication Systems Inc. (service provider to wireless cos.), of Annapolis; Michele Perry, chief marketing officer, Sourcefire (computer network intrusion prevention), of Columbia; and Todd Johnson, president of Salar Inc. (clinical software for hospitals), of Baltimore.

Any questions you want me to ask these folks? Shoot me them via Twitter. (http://twitter.com/gussent)

I'll bring you the highlights in a later blog post. Meantime, can someone point me to the coffee?

Gus - Look at www.avego.com - real-time carpooling (synchronous vs. old-school asynchronous) - they just arrived in the US and are launching pilot sites in our area and on west coast. Very exciting!

Thanks, Greg. We'll see if it takes off in Baltimore. One might argue that "hacking" is Baltimore's native version of carpooling. ;-) -Gus

No worries, Gus.

Hacking is a hallowed Baltimore tradition. Not sure if the carpool will ever take off here. People here love their cars.

How has your iphone been for you? Failing an update via iphone, how about a product report on it thus far?

Good idea. Ask and ye shall receive. Will give a quick report today. -Gus
