2257084872_cba1e907c5_mEric Marcoullier has been a huge supporter of the NOLA tech community and has become a good friend through time spent at SXSW and in SF. He went to school for a minute at Tulane and is coming to town this weekend.

Eric’s done a lot, and I’m really looking forward to hearing him speak. He was one of the founders of MyBlogLog (see the pics to the right of this post, thats it) which Yahoo bought two years ago. Now he’s got a cool startup called GNIP which is making sure the tubes carrying all your tweets and stuff don’t get clogged.

Let’s show him some NOLA love and all go see him speak on Monday at Tulane. The event is free and open to the public.

Eric Marcoullier

CEO, Gnip Inc

When : April 20th, 2009 5.30 pm – 6.30 pm

Place: Graduate Business Building (Goldring/Woldenberg Hall 2) Room 2110

Eric Marcoullier is CEO and co-founder of the online data services company Gnip, Inc. Previously, Eric co-founded MyBlogLog, a distributed social network for bloggers that sold to Yahoo in 2007. Eric’s other ventures have included CEO and co-founder of training games provider Minerva Software and co-founder of IGN.com, which sold to Fox Interactive Media in 2005. He advises several companies, including recent Automattic acquisition Intense Debate, as well as Future US, Zynga Games, Zemanta and Zentact and Megamesium, both of which he also co-founded.

    It’s a great portrait, and even better now that we know where it’s taken. :)
