HubSpot Scoops Up Marketing Hacker Dan Zarrella
What does the new media pro of the future look like? One snapshot can be seen in Boston marketing firm HubSpot's newest hire Dan Zarrella. Zarrella is the creator of publishing tools like Tweetbacks, a script for displaying Twitter mentions below any blog post, and a collection of plug-ins that provides instant odds of a blog post hitting Digg's front page based on the keywords in its title.
HubSpot used the new submission form on Jobwire, our site tracking new hires, to tell us about the move this morning.
Ginx: Pierre Omidyar's Stealthy New Social Recommendation Service
eBay founder Pierre Omidyar has joined the executive team of a stealthy new startup called Ginx, according to financial filings unearthed by PEHub. Very little is known about the company but based on passing whispers from early testers of the private data we have have some guesses about what the service does.
Ginx appears to be a people and news recommendation service built out of a Twitter publishing tool and a URL shortener. We think that sounds great, those lightweight technologies hold huge stores of valuable data. The company has raised about $2 million in funding so it's the real deal, not a fly by night operation. Check out a screenshot below and our full coverage of Omidyar's new gig over on Jobwire, our blog covering new hires in tech and new media.
