Ok everyone, we here at the wojo group are getting pretty excited for next week. On Saturday, we’re packing up our cars and driving straight through the night. We’re not stopping until we hit Miami. Why, you may ask? FOWA 2009!

For those of you who are a less of a geek than I, FOWA is the Future of Web Apps Conference. It is one of many wonderful events that Carsonified puts on every year.  We will have the pleasure of spending 3 days in downtown Miami, attending workshops, presentations, parties, and fraternizing with the ‘web-developers A-list’.

We are going to try to keep all of you updated from the conference this year, using this crazy thing called ‘Twitter’.  So, check out twitter.com/thewojogroup next week (Feb 22-24) for updates, pictures, and stories from FOWA Miami 2009.  

And for those of you lucky enough to be going to FOWA also, we’ll see you there!

We recently launched the Motionspire beta. We’ve been developing this site for quite some time, and we’re finally opening it up to some users.

The concept behind Motionspire is very simple- we built the site to be the best place to view inspirational motion graphics content. Taking a cue from the CSS gallery concept, which has been implemented well by sites like cssmania, cssremix, and stylegala, among others, we thought that there should be a website where you can go to simply view some good motion graphics.

Instead of doing a full launch, we decided to start off with a beta model, for several reasons. First, it gives us a chance to get some good feedback from beta users before we go ahead with the global launch. We are always open to suggestions to make this site better for its users. Second, the beta launch gives us a chance to track some statistics so we can accurately gauge the resource requirements we’ll need for the site.

With that in mind, we need your help. If you are interested in this project, head on over to motionspire.com and fill out a beta account. It’s really easy, and it will give you the chance to be one of the first to try out this new endeavor. Thanks!
