High Five!

Hi there,

Pretty neat to have made it to "Rising Star" status. The point system on Sta.rtUp.Biz is mostly quantitative. I actually think the decisions going into the rating system accurately support popularity and activity to a degree. The evolving incentive structure for participating in key discussions or activities show a nice consideration to qualitative metrics. This is the same direction I see a lot of internet phenomena heading toward- intelligent search apps and user rated content.

Here's my high five to SUP (not including the core execs). Thanks for making these contacts possible. There are a lot of people I like to call friends. I've met some really impressive business people. Some have the personality and interest areas that suit my preferences or projects at a given time. Sometimes, I like the people who engage me more comprehensively and recently. Currently, my five favorite people on site are (in no particular order):

Mari Torres
Jared O'Toole
Stephane Dube
STRAIGHTALK
Gerald Simmons

So who are your top five favorites right now? Maybe I'll look into them.

Best,

Anthony
