Here at Tripod, we don't need mistletoe... we just need to put our pretty faces on our staff page to generate our own Love Connection. Just ask Promotions Manager Karen Adams, who received e-mail from a Tripod member wanting to take her out on a date. Maybe we would have seen some virtual sparks igniting, if she wasn't already happily married.
The holiday season has us all in a celebratory mood -- Ari Blech, one of our Account Managers in the NYC office, got so excited after closing a lucrative deal that he jumped up on a desk in the new Soho offices and proceeded to do a dance of joy: leaping, swaying, and gyrating his way around what he thought were empty offices. Little did he know, though, that he was performing for Paul DeBraccio, our VP of Advertising, another sales rep, and her client! Needless to say, the unlucky client will be joining weekly therapy sessions with other innocent bystanders.
To close, here's the Site Management Team's Holiday Prediction: Tripod will reach 800,000 members -- on Christmas Day, at 4:20pm EDT. Now that's a holiday gift we can all cheer about!
Happy New Year!
