Microsoft Hearts Carbonmade

Microsoft featured Carbonmade last week in a case study alongside Dell, Hardrock Café, and Elite Models. Hooray! It's a neat read for anyone who wants to know a little more about our history. For instance, did you know that Carbonmade was originally created as a simple tool for Dave to update his online portfolio? Another interesting tidbit is that before Carbonmade, we were a small web consulting company doing web development work for Scribd, MerchNOW, Epitaph Records, and others. Here's a snippet:

“Carbonmade provides creative people with the ability to showcase and manage their work. It uses a modern, lightweight user interface and works across all browsers. Carbonmade was built as a side project by Jason Nelson and Dave Gorum. The idea came about when Dave, frustrated by manually updating his portfolio, proposed building a simple tool to handle the drudgery. The app was so handy that friends and colleagues began asking to use it. Answering their call, Jason and Dave built the app into a standalone product, and in a year’s time Carbonmade was a thriving business.”
