DAILY MARAUDER GOES AWOL

Hey there loyal Marauderists,

Daily Marauder will be on hiatus from tomorrow until September. Being that this is such a large swath of time, I thought it would be worth mentioning a few reasons why we are going dark for so long. Take a deep breathe and deal with the abandonment issues. The purpose of this hiatus is to re-brand the site, re-define the user experience, and add what the movie Office Space refers to as a little bit more flair.

Daily Marauder has been a passion project of mine for the past 3 years. My mission for this site has always been to learn while assessing the digital landscape and speaking to companies about their strategies in this space. This, is still my mission. However, to continue to progress while maintaining some sense of sanity, I need some time to breathe, to re-create, and hopefully to produce a product you like even better than the one before it. During this hiatus, I will be doing a few things:

1) Beginning this Sunday, I and 2,000 other riders, will be biking from San Francisco to Los Angeles in the AIDS Lifecycle in support of the AIDS Foundation. If you would like to donate to the AIDS Foundation, click here. If you are interested in the journey, click on the image below or head to either of two places: www.twitter.com/dailymarauder or www.sftolaonbike.com

2) Re-brand and re-define: In the month of June, I plan to redefine my user flow and redesign the site to support that flow. The intention is to create a site which flows a bit easier and provides a more seamless user experience. More yay! and less nay. In addition, I will be consolidating my e-mail lists. You may receive an opt-in message during that time. I hope you decide to stick with us and continue to get your digital/TV/tech news on with us.

Till then. Try not to run me over on the road and I’ll catch you on the flipside of a few more Real Housewives of NJ episodes,

Marauder
