Become Completes East Coast Press Tour

Friday, March 11 marked the end of a 4 day whirlwind press tour for Michael Yang and Yeogirl Yun of Become [the new shopping search engine you hear me talk about so much]. I spoke with Michael Thursday night just before he and Yeogirl were about to start another round of Q & A with yet another reporter. He seemed upbeat and excited about how the major media outlets were responding to the technology Become is built on as well as the team working on Become.

Michael and Yeogirl met with folks from The Wall Street Journal, ClickZ and a host of others I can't even remember right now. Needless to say, the become buzz is continuing to build. My eccentric left coast comrade Tom Foremski said he met with the Become gang last week and had a really good time during his visit. I'm sure he'll be following them quite a bit in the near and long term so you can read his blog for an alternate perspective.

Stay tuned for more news and events on Become this week. There will be quite a bit of coverage here on them since they've been burning the midnight oil putting some new tweaks into their already amazing algorithm and tightening the screws on the performance side of things as well.
