I quickly realized that I was the only guy there and thought to myself, “Well gee – this should be interesting..” After hearing about what Women Inspire Tech (WIT) is all about, I realized that it was a pretty cool organization they had pulled together. As I mentioned briefly to the organizer Tiffany, “It’s great you guys are hosting these events to help women create more meaningful connections and see how we can all help each other…” “..It reminds me a lot of my friend Mark Sackett’s event he has called, The Art of Active Networking“.

PathMapp Goes Live
Mobile A/B testing startup PathMapp that made their debut at Tech Crunch Disrupt earlier last year has officially went live today. Pathmapp has essentially created a solution that allows developers to test different designs and push them out in realtime. Today, the startup is officially launching their A/B testing platform for native iOS apps, with the goal of enabling mobile developers the ability to optimize their apps and increase conversions without sacraficing their users experience, or even making substantial workflow changes.

I’ll sum it up here for you, and if you feel so inclined you can go ahead and read the full version here. Cognitive Overhead – What is it? Certainly, that would bea good place to start.
