January 27, 2009 – 11:52 am
Image via CrunchBase It’s been a while since the last Tuesday Push. The idea behind it is to develop the Irish Tech industry in a coordinated way, by giving companies that launch a new product or service a bump in coverage.

Image by Arbel Egger via Flickr I’ve seen lots of posts reviewing the past year, and predicting what’s likely to happen in the coming year. So I’m jumping on the bandwagon. For me, 2008 saw a lot of changes, mainly related to work. I reached a big milestone when Ambient Age hit its first birthday [...]
