Client, Denim Group, Named to Inc. Magazine 5000 List of Fastest Growing Companies for 2nd Year in a Row - Yahoo! Finance

NEW YORK & SAN ANTONIO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Denim Group, an IT consultancy that develops secure software and helps organizations assess and mitigate risks with their existing software, has been named to the Inc. 5,000 list of the fastest growing privately held companies for the second year in a row. Denim Group’s profile may be viewed on the Inc. site at: http://tinyurl.com/nkk9at. The company ranked number 1,751 placing it in the top 1/3 of this group.

“Savvy trend spotters and those who invest in private companies know that the Inc. 5000 is the best place to find out about young companies that are achieving success through a wide variety of unprecedented business models, as well as older private companies that are still expanding at an impressive rate,” said Inc. 5000 project manager Jim Melloan. “That’s why our list is so eagerly anticipated every year.”

Despite the ongoing recession, aggregate revenue among the companies on the list actually increased to $214 billion, up $29 billion from last year, with a median three-year growth rate of 126 percent. The Inc. 5000 are responsible for creating more than 1 million jobs since their founding, making the list perhaps the best example of the impact private, fast-growing companies can have on the economy. Complete results of the Inc. 5000, including company profiles and an interactive database that can be sorted by industry, region, and other criteria, can be found on Inc.com.

“World-class companies such as Denim Group that are based in San Antonio are an asset to our growing security sector,” added Julián Castro, Mayor of San Antonio. “We salute Denim Group's accomplishment and thoughtful leadership in attaining this recognition two years in a row.”

“We are honored to have once again received this recognition from Inc.,” concluded John Dickson, Principal of Denim Group. “We attribute our steady growth to the ever-increasing need for application security among both commercial and government sectors, and look forward to working closer with Rackspace (NYSE: RAX - News), WhiteHat Security, Fortify and others to continue to grow this market.”

Twitter Study Reveals Interesting Results About Usage | Pear Analytics

From the Pear Analytics Blog.....

August 12th, 2009 by Ryan Kelly in Social Media

A while back we embarked on a study that evolved after a having a debate in the office as to how people are using and consuming Twitter. Some felt it was their source of news and articles, others felt it was just a bunch of self-promotion with very few folks actually paying attention. But mostly, many people still perceive Twitter as just mindless babble of people telling you what they are doing minute-by-minute; as if you care they are eating a sandwich at the moment.  (See our last post on Twitter: Is Anyone Paying Attention?).
