###Tom For Sale###

Posted May 14, 2003 9:30 AM.

As many of you know, UpMyStreet.com - the company where I have worked for the last ten months - put itself up for sale a few weeks ago. Many of my co-workers prudently put their CVs online at that time, but for a variety of reasons, until now I've not done so. Yesterday a deal was finally struck which sold UpMyStreet to uSwitch, but unfortunately the other company's offer was not for the entire organisation (cf. Stefan's comments).

As a result - effective immediately - I now find myself looking for a new project to work on. Ideally, I'd be looking to be developing some new social software or community projects (either public-facing or within organisations) or to work around personal publishing and user-generated content. However, I'm also open to possibilities in other areas, so if there's something you'd like to discuss with me, let me know...

If you have any questions, suggestions or are looking for clarification on anything, then please don't hesitate to contact me directly - My e-mail address is on my CV.
