This past week OrangeSoda was honored as an Emerging Elite Utah company by the Mountain West Capital Network.  The event was held at The Grand America in SLC and was attended by a few thousand business owners and executives.

The award ceremony had to move somewhat quickly as it included the top 100 revenue growth companies so winners were led through the gauntlet one after another.  So to say the least I wasn’t quite prepared when I found myself next to the Governor.  Somehow my upper lip disappeared and I turned 5x more pale than normal.  Good times.

SearchMe.com has actually been out for a few months, but I just came across it.  This may have the potential to do well with the average web user.  Results are displayed in a more visible manner based of off the search type.  For example, music searches render an Itunes look and feel.  And get this…you can stream just about any song directly from the results.  Check out this William Fitzsimmons tune.  The concept may not sound that innovative, but how many legal sites can you actually stream entire songs upon request?  Google universal search could learn a few things from these guys.

Obviously for informational searches it’s no google.  Most likely this site will fall in with countless other engines popping up, but it’s worth a look. Here’s an old TechCrunch article for more info.

For a few months now (I think since Firefox 2) I’ve had issues using the WordPress image uploader in Firefox.  To this point I’ve been a very infrequent blogger and most of my other sites on WordPress don’t have many images so I just used FTP when needed.  A few new prodjects with heavy image use required me to finally find a fix.  For those of you that haven’t already found a solution I thought I’d pass on what worked for me (I had to try quite a few “fixes”).  Check out this post.
