This DBB (Tu, 10/13)– What’s Up Interactive -- Richard Warner

Back in the day, before anyone knew that the web was really going to take off, a few brave souls actually started building businesses to harness its power – and make money. One of those pioneering companies in Atlanta was and is What’s Up Interactive (http://www.whatsup.com/). On Tuesday, the founder of What’s Up, Richard Warner will be our Digital Brown Bag (Tu, 10/12/09, 12:30P, NMI, Room 401 Journalism) guest. Not only has Richard shaped the way that digital media has grown in the southeast, he is also a television star – he hosts “Georgia Business” on Georgia Public Television. What’s Up is a true UGA and NMI shop hiring our alum for years. And, I promise, Richard is a fun guy. Join us.
