Red state. 'Nuff said.

How ignorant. Not to mention that the city of Atlanta votes overwhelmingly blue.

[cglace]

Wow that is ignorant.

Austin seems to be doing alright.

[balloot]

It is? What interesting thing has come out of Austin anytime recently?

[seats]

Guess it depends on definition of interesting and recently.

HomeAway and BazaarVoice both just had IPOs. Indeed got bought for likely ~1 billion this year too. Phurnace exited to BMC for ~500 million about 2 years ago, Convio IPO that year. Spiceworks and WhaleShark seem like they are doing pretty well.

SocialWare, AppSumo, Uship, UnboundID, Outbox, Mass Relevance, Boundless, BlackLocus, WPEngine, CopperEgg, SailPoint, etc. I'm sure I'm missing tons, but point is there are lots.

[codewright]

Lots of cool video games.
