momo gets a mention in ft. worth star telegram

Big thanks to Aman Batheja for our mention in his Jan 10th article on youth and politics (last paragraph):

"Web developer Tyler Fields, 23, of Dallas, said users of social networking sites like Facebook are overwhelmed by political news. His startup company, Momo, plans on launching a Web application called MomoPolitics. The program will help people with Facebook accounts filter political information important to them."

Now, if we could only get our first app working... these last three issues are KILLER.

momo gets a mention in dallas morning news

The Dallas Morning News did a write-up on Facebook and the Facebook Developers Garage here (my own blog writeup is coming).  Momo got a brief mention in the sub-heading called "Fertile field:"

An ambitious application called Momo quizzes users about their tastes and interests and steers them toward people and products they might like.

Well, with the exception of a few ambiguities (i.e. company is called Momo, not application; we're not exactly quizzing people either), I'd say this is a great start; I mean, we were the only presenters to be called "ambitious," and of course he could have chosen NOT to mention us, so thanks Andrew D. Smith!

Our next sighting should be in the Fort Worth Star Telegram near the end of this month... I was interviewed by Aman Batheja for a piece on politics and the Internet. I'll keep you posted!
