A New Chapter

We’re excited to announce the beginning of a new chapter, and a new company.

Our freshly incorporated venture is called Flowing Media, Inc., and will focus on visualization aimed at consumers and mass audiences. For now it’s just the two of us, and we’ll be offering design, strategy, and development services. Our world headquarters are located in Cambridge, MA.

We’ll miss the brilliant and energetic people at our former lab at IBM, and are deeply proud of the work we did there. And luckily, it’s not a true goodbye, since we have an arrangement in the works to continue joint research with our colleagues.

We’ll keep you posted as our plans develop. And meanwhile, if you know of anyone who has interesting data and would like help bringing it to life, spread the word. Our new web site is taking shape at flowingmedia.com.

Best of luck to you!

I can’t tell, is this a consulting-type thing or a Many Eyes-type thing or something else?

Thanks! It’s currently a “consulting-type thing.”

Congratulations! While I am sure that your IBM colleagues will miss you terribly, I am excited see what you two will do as free agents. Let the media flow!
