It’s amazing how quickly this summer seemed to have passed. Well, you know what they say, time flies when you’re having fun. I have to say that I miss the program and San Francisco in general. I’ve been going through San Francisco withdrawal lately. Anyway, in the last week of the program, I met a [...]

Hey all — I can’t believe that week seven of the program has already come and gone. This week was cut a little short due to the fact that we returned from the company off-site retreat on Tuesday. The retreat was an amazing time — I got to meet and befriend people who I had [...]

This week GigaOM’s Director of Product Management, Jaime Chen, returned to the office after trekking to Europe and Africa.

One of the key features of the contact form is the implementation of something known as reCAPTCHA (slightly different from a regular CAPTCHA). In case you didn’t [...]

So, this week I redesigned the landing page on GigaOM Pro. After meeting with [...]

A quick day-by-day recap of my third week: On Monday I had a meeting with our SEO/marketing guy Jon Wirt to discuss some changes that needed to be made [...]

Highlights of my week include meeting the other four interns (Qiyun, Stephanie, Chris, and Nik) for lunch at Paragon, attending one of GigaOM’s Bunker Series sessions, learning about the venture capital industry/silicon valley in general with Jon Callaghan & Tod [...]

Hey all, Andrew Boni here. What an amazing week it’s been out here in San Francisco. First off, a little bit about me: I was born and raised in New Jersey, I go to school at Boston College, and I’m going to be interning with GigaOM for the next 8 weeks. I feel like I’m [...]
