Mashable's New Year's Resolution
By Pete Cashmore (from Mashable) on December 28, 2009
In 2009 Mashable has expanded at a faster rate than ever before, and in 2010 we expect to grow the team significantly more. The hockey stick growth of social media has created high demand for insight, commentary and breaking news on the evolution of social tools online - we aim to meet that demand and become the first port of call for those looking for information and guidance related to this exploding industry. Our positioning is ideal: we simply need to execute correctly.
As we grow, we increasingly use online tools like Google Docs to work collaboratively; with a team spread across 9 cities and 2 continents, it's doubly important to ensure that we retain coordination. How can we manage that growth and ensure all team members stay on the same page? How can we preserve our core values while continually adding to the team? How do we retain quality while also increasing the quantity of our content? Those are the questions we ask as we formulate our resolutions for 2010, and devise strategies for carefully managed expansion. Our resolution for 2010 looks to retain efficiency by using these tools: one in particular.
