I know, I know,  the blog has been dormant for the last 8 months.

But the Lab certainsly hasn’t! We’ve been busy beavers and the place is humming. The Lab itself has grown from 5 desks to 20, going to 35 by September 1. Amongst our current residents are EtherPad, Mr. Tweet, Foul Play, Umamibud, and some as yet unnamed projects. And a bunch of cool new startups have joined us down here at Pier 38, including Automattic, Threadsy, Poken, Social Gold and CoTweet, just to name a few.

Lots lots more lies ahead over the next couple months, starting with a blog redesign.

A new member of the Polaris team, starting Monday, will be based at the Lab — more on that next week.

And, we have a really exciting new project, called theStartProject, coming this fall.

Stay tuned!
