Meet Drake Meeting Brizzly: A Spanking New ATD Feature

in News on November 6, 2009 at 12:03 am PT

Today, All Things Digital debuts a new feature called “Almost Famous” in our Voices section. No, it is not about Kate Hudson and nascent rock stars. Well, you might meet geek rock stars to be. Focused on innovative, interesting or just plain odd start-ups, we thought it was a good way for our readers to get a gander at some up-and-coming ideas and trends. It will be penned by Drake Martinet every Friday.
