TechDrawl Awesomeness

I wanted to talk briefly about one of the greatest additions to the Southeast technology community in the past two years: TechDrawl.com. From their site:

TechDrawl is a blog showcasing emerging technology and new media businesses fresh from the South.  Our mission is to bring to the national stage the newest and most promising privately owned companies and entrepreneurs from D.C. to Texas (the U.S. Census South) and to report on their concepts and accomplishments.

TechDrawl is so important because it gives a voice to the emerging technology community in one of the fastest growing portions of the United States. To me, TechDrawl has a done a great job with the following:

• Getting investors, technologists, and entrepreneurs (Disclosure: I’m one of them) to write about their experiences and interests
• Provide high-quality video interviews, which captures the emotion and passion of entrepreneurs in a way that text doesn’t
• Sponsor people in the community to attend conferences in other cities as well as interview people on the other side of the country to better understand what’s going on around us

If you haven’t visited TechDrawl lately, I’d recommend heading on over there.
