    Dear Blog,

    I’m sorry that I’ve neglected you for the past few months. There is no explanation for this…okay maybe there is. It’s been a crazy year! Let’s list out all that was accomplished in the past 365 days: I graduated from university with a degree in psychology, sold my web company (Sneakerplay), was recruited by the most admired software company in the world, and got married. And that’s not it. I have couple ideas that I plan to make happen before the end of 2009. And as you know this is a blog about Action, Just doin’ it and making ideas happen - so, expect more updates going forward. Join me on my humble journey to build things that make a difference!

    Your friend,

    Robleh

    It’s official!

    Sneakerplay has been acquired. As of March 2009, my three year social networking journey as owner will come to an end.  I’ll be doing a follow-up post with all of the juicy details from dealing with investment bankers, to press coverage, bidding wars and exploding term sheets. The result of all of this hard work was that we were able to find a new home for Sneakerplay. I’m extremely humbled to have been able to build the foundations of what is now one of the premier urban social networks on the web. I look forward to sharing my experiences and insights on this blog, as well as thoughts on web culture and future experiments.
