Introducing Artcatchr

As I mentioned in my previous post, I’ve been interned at For Art’s Sake Media for about 2 months now. It’s nice to work in a start-up company, you know. Just seeing how the company takes shape and grows day by day is very rewarding.

The slogan for For Art’s Sake Media is “empowering art through technology” and we are doing that indeed. They have two products. Well, a mix of both product and service. One that is yet to be revealed (ooohhh, secret, eh?). But now one of our pride and joy has gone live. That is Artcatchr (http://alpha.artcatchr.com).

You might be wondering what Artcatchr is. Artcatchr’s purpose lies within its name. What we do is we catch art and design contents all over the Internet to be in our website. Artcatchr will act as the destination for artists, art enthusiasts to visit the website and read many interesting contents we’ve retrieved all over the Internet.

Right now they’ve gathered more than hundred blogs on various art contents and more members joining their site as they go along.  I personally think this is a very cool idea. You don’t have to go through a lot of art websites just to satisfy your thirst for art. It’s THE one destination for art. Just check out Artcatchr (http://alpha.artcatchr.com) and you’ll know what I mean.

Hello world

Hi everybody,

I meant to do this for quite awhile but has been putting it off until now. My friend recommends WordPress to me as it seems to be more effective than other blogging sites. And I guess now it’s the time for me to do this before I get sleepy, hehe.

My name is Varot and I’m a graduate student from Thailand. Honestly it’s been a rollercoaster-ride year for me – half way around the world from home and all that stuffs. But fun, nonetheless. It’s fun meeting from all walks of life here at Emerson College, where I’m studying.

Now I’m interning at For Art’s Sake Media – a start-up company here in Boston (http://www.forartssakemedia.com/about/).  I was hesitant at first but my American professor back home told me that this would be an opportunity for me. So I asked him why. He said if I intern at big companies, sure they are big companies but they might not care you about that much and probably let you go wander around somewhere, hehe. But I’m glad that made the right decision interning here. You might ask why, so here’s your answer.

At For Art’s Sake Media, their goal is to be THE destination to connect artists all over the world for them to exchange their ideas. Simply put it: empowering art through technology. I like their concept, really. Right now the Internet has many social networking websites for many professions but not for artists. So why not creating one for artists? That’s what For Art’s Sake Media stands for,

I’ve been interned here for almost 2 months now and I can say that it is a rewarding experience. I’ll tell you more in my next post. Stay Tune
