I got an email from Amazon about their new WebStore by Amazon offering. Like Shopify, it’s a just-add-water storefront for people wanting to sell their products.

Catch the Best got a mention in the Working Podcast, a great resource for career advice.
On a related note, StandoutJobs is getting a ton of coverage by virtue of being at DEMO, not to mention getting a $2 million investment. That should bring some welcome attention to the space addressed by hiring management tools like Catch the Best. :)

Thanks to the contributions of a couple of people on the mailing list, and thanks to a client who wanted some Lorem Ipsum text to be generated, Faker 0.3.0 has been released.

- Added UK address methods [Caius Durling]
Go get it.
