From ctakemoto at brynmawr.edu Sun Oct 2 15:03:44 2011 From: ctakemoto at brynmawr.edu (Cara Takemoto) Date: Sun Oct 2 14:17:43 2011 Subject: [Compsci] Ruby on Rails Developers Message-ID: Hey Everyone, If you know Ruby on Rails and might be interested in working with a new start up company, YourZoko is looking for another person to work either full time or on a consulting basis. Here's a short description about what they do from their site: "Think about all of the times you have been leaving a dinner party with all of the guests saying, "We need to do this again really soon!" Zoko agrees. That's why the Zoko website makes it easy for groups - from a casual circle of friends to members of a formal organization - to connect in person. How? By making it really simple for members of the group to share details of events they are hosting, view and RSVP to events they would like to attend, and see who in the group is hosting and attending which events. The tool allows people?s dining circles to grow while allowing the individual events to remain the small intimate gatherings people love. Removing all the organizational headaches from organizing these circles means people can focus on the best part, enjoying the events themselves!" If you are interested, or have any questions, please contact Bradley Baer at brad@yourzoko.com. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
