The cat is out of the bag.

Last night, Saul Kaplan and I had the pleasure of officially unveiling the RI Nexus initiative in general, and RINexus.com in particular. Fittingly, we did it in in front of a super, standing-room-only crowd at this month's Providence Geeks Dinner. And then this morning, the press gave us extensive coverage for which we're very appreciative:

• Benjamin Gedan at The Providence Journal
• David Ortiz at The Providence Business News
• UPDATE: Russ Conway at Rhode Island's Future
• UPDATE: Ian Donnis at the The Providence Phoenix
• UPDATE: Tibet Sprague at Providence Daily Dose

As you can imagine our traffic has grown a lot in the past day. Better still, the RINexus.com team's rate of learning has grown a lot too. A small army of super smart people are checking out the Beta site, finding bugs, and giving us brilliant feedback. Overwhemingly, the feedback has been very positive, and we really appreciate everyone's support and help.

Please bear with us as we continue ironing out the kinks. We're pysched to be on this trip with you all.
