Rob and I have been blogging here for a few weeks now, trying to keep on top of this fast-paced, ever-evolving microblogging industry as best we can. We do it because we want people to know about the tools and services that exist and how they work. Plus, we just love microblogging.

I am the self-professed marketing guy, always examining the underpinnings of marketing strategy and brand tactics, thinking about why things are done the way they are done. Rob is the idea guy and the organizer, keeping our team on task and always thinking about what is next.

We’ve worked very well together, but we felt like there was another piece of the puzzle that was missing. Now we have found that piece.

Mark Bockenstedt, or chewbocka as many people may know him, is a web developer by trade and an avid user of social media and microblogging. Mark run’s his own blog about tech tips, how-to’s and miscellaneous geekery, but outside of all of that, we’ve convinced him to do some blogging for Microblink and to join our team.

Mark will be the resident developer voice for the site, who Rob and I will go to for all of the technical stuff that soars way over our heads. Things like how API calls work and the technical architecture of server programming to support microblogging.

If you yourself have some technical or developer-related questions or topics you’d like to see Mark write about, please use the contact form to send us your wish list. Please check out his first post, Tracking Twitter’s Third Party Popularity, and let him know what you think.

We look forward to working with him and we hope you look forward to joining his conversations.
