Congratulations and well done to Xconomy on the results of their 1st year covering technology in San Diego. Over the past year, Xconomy has partnered with CONNECT to keep pace with developments in San Diego’s innovation economy. Communications is key to strategic partnerships, licensing, and funding and Xconomy is working to help provide this critical link. Thank you to Bruce Bigelow and Bob Buderi on a successful first year!

“According to Xconomy…” a phrase that is often heard at lunch when discussing the latest San Diego Biotech, Technology and Clean Tech business developments.

Congratulations. You have brought valued sustenance to the community. So much has happened in the last year and I look forward to the coming years with Xconomy. Thank you for helping us stay on top of everything. This is one of the few news feeds that is non-bias, factual, and timely. Keep those emails coming.

I’d also like to thank Bruce for his hard and great work this past year—sorry it’s such a slower pace than he was used to(ha!)—as well as national biotech editor Luke Timmerman, who although based in Seattle has led our San Diego biotech coverage as if he were there!

Kudos as well to the rest of the Xconomy team—most notably Michele Gerus, our new business development manager for the region—who have helped out on every front.

Most especially, I would like to thank our underwriters, venture members, and partners for supporting a fledgling endeavor as we try to bring great news coverage of the innovation scene to the area—and of course our great and growing San Diego audience, whom we are getting to know better and better each day. Keep those comments and suggestions coming!

Bruce, your contributions to clean technology in the region are invaluable. Clean Tech has long been ignored by mainstream media and your team has personally contribution to increasing the rate of commercialization of new technologies. Please keep up the insightful articles and the hard work!

Congratulations and kudos – I have been very impressed with the speed with which Xconomy became a “must have news source” from a “Have you heard of these guys?” just a mere year or so ago. You provide daily reading and food for thought, quotes and heated discussions for many of us in the local innovation economy. Keep up the good work! I find myself constantly telling friends who haven’t heard of Xconomy (but who should…) to check it out. Amazing how quickly and completely you have found ways to get all your fingers on the many pulses of San Diego. Well done, and thank you!

San Diego is visited regularly by representatives of cities from around the US and regions from around the world trying to understand what makes San Diego’s entrepreneurial environment so vibrant. Kudos to Bruce Bigelow and Xconomy for not only covering our environment but for becoming an integral part of it.

Congratulations, Bruce & team! Xconomy has been a great addition to the San Diego Innovation landscape. Quality and timely news is critical in helping our technology and life science community flourish. Thanks for all the insightful stories and all your support for our great market.

Xconomy has come such a long way in a short period of time and reflects how news outlets can still produce quality, timely news in a changing media market. The business of technology innovation has a tremendous impact on the San Diego economy — perhaps more than it’s recognized for. Xconomy has found a highly relevant niche for content that locals will consume, and has found a platform to keep pace with the current speed of communications.

In these challenging times, being is business over a year is a key milestone. Xconomy has provided good insight into companies in San Diego and have provided significant information. Verari is in the energy efficient data center space and Bruce was able to capture our market opportunity very well. I am looking forward to more outstanding news.

Congratulations on completing a very successful first year in San Diego. I am glad Steve Woit and Bob Buderi chose San Diego as the third location for Xconomy’s wonderful coverage of the Tech, Wireless and Healthcare markets. San Diego has a lot to offer and is great to see Xconomy covering the important stories of innovation and news. Please continue to provide interesting local stories that will have a global impact. I look forward to celebrating many more years to come of Xconomy being a vital part of the business community of San Diego.

Kudos! As a former journalist and current news junkie, I’ve enjoyed the depth and breadth of the Xconomy coverage. The shrinking news holes in the printed media and their reduced staffs with limited ability to cover the daily news, particularly in technology and life sciences, probably bodes well for a bright future for Xconomy. Continued success!

Team Bruce: In just one year Xconomy has become the “go to” news source for San Diego’s innovative economy. It is refreshing to have timely coverage which reports rather than repeats the news. Those of us involved with championing clean technology in San Diego value Xconomy’s focus on those emerging companies whose success is critical to our local economy and global survival. The inclusion of thought leaders as Xconomists is brilliant in design and execution. All of your readers look forward to what Xconomy will bring to us in the year ahead.

Bruce… Great job to you and the the entire staff… News does not become news unless someone writes about it… Great stories are developed not found…. Your team has done both.

Congrats on 1st anniversary, Bruce and team! You’ve clearly got the inside track on all the business news that matters in our region, as witnessed by your dominant presence at the U-T’s own Business page, and your timely, impactful coverage. Keep up the good work!
