Colorado Tech Weekly brings you the top 10 technology stories of the past week and the best upcoming local tech events every Monday morning!
58. Cincuenta y ocho. That is how many stories I had to choose from to create my list of 10 stories for this week. That’s a ton of news!
Part of the reason for all the news are due to the awesome news sources I follow. Congratulations to Michael Davidson of Xconomy for his 2 first place awards in the “Top of the Rockies” journalism competition run by the Colorado Pro Chapter of the Society of Professional Journalists. Also congratulations to InnovatioNews for their 5 “Top of the Rockies” awards. You can find their stories at http://www.xconomy.com/boulder-denver/ and http://innovationews.com/
