New Watershed Now website launched today
It was /really/ fun doing this podcast with team DrupalEasy. Awesome learning about Web Enabled too. I can't wait to try their product.
I also wanted to let folks know that we just launched a new website on Watershed Now this morning. Check out http://potomacriverkeeper.org of what our clients are doing with the distribution.
Cheers,
Sean Larkin

pingvision no longer is in operation
You mentioned pingVision a few times. They no longer operate as a company. They "ceased operations" in the fall of 2009 after growing to about 19 people.
There is a different company called PINGV Creative whose website is pingv.com (which is somewhat confusing because pingVision LLC also used the domain pingv.com). PINGV Creative has the same management team and one employee who worked for that management team at pingVision.
