Hi,

I’m Ryan Angilly, and I, along with my business partner Jonathan Woodard, want to welcome you to the blog for our new company, FourthSegment.

Back in November, Jonathan and I started to ask ourselves: What’s the next big thing?  What’s coming down the pipe that is going to change the way people use the internet?  Over the next several months, several less-than-stellar ideas, and 2 or 3 verbal punches in the mouth from people we respect immensely, the idea for FourthSegment emerged.

The idea itself didn’t strike us like a bolt of lightening.  What started off as a little add-on feature to a previous idea slowly meandered from one thing to another, and the next thing we knew we were staring a monster in the face.

If you want to get a peek at what we’re getting ourselves into, it’s no secret.  Just check out our homepage at fourthsegment.com.

Jonathan and I wanted to take a minute to set the tone for this blog.  This blog is about the company we are starting.  In true Tumblr fashion, it will be a mix of things.  We will use this blog to:

1. Update you on the progress of the product
2. Write original content about the evolution of our internet startup from an entrepreneurial point of view
3. Share content that we find & think is relevant to the space — in this case social media, e-commerce, sharing and the lazyweb
4. Produce interesting material on what we find in our data.  Think OkCupid’s tech blog, but for how businesses and people interact at the intersection of e-commerce, social media, design and marketing

We are really excited for what’s coming.  Talk to you soon!

-Ryan & Jonathan
