Thanks for “outing yourself” here, and I couldn’t agree more: post this at TechFold, be yourself:-) It’s fun and you build your personal brand in the process :-)

It is I, TechFOLD! :) In all seriousness, I am the TechFold guy. My name is Rod Edwards, I'm in Winnipeg, Canada. I'm not an investor, a VC, or a startup guy. That's what I mean by far out - I'm as out as you can get and still have broadband access. I'm a serial web dabbler with a number of goofy one off projects out there that have never amounted to anything. I have a great day job at a major financial institution which exposes me to a lot of strategic thinking and analytical methodologies. I'm a longtime lurker on various tech sites, a blogger at WorldChanging/Canada, and I decided to bring together my love of tech and the community, the analytical bent I get from my job, and what proficiency I have in writing and take a stab at tech commentary. As I explained to Jeff and Jacoby in an email today, I find writing site reviews to be very different than just commenting on issues - its intimidating because I know there's someone on the other end of the post I'm writing who's put their heart and soul into whatever I'm critique-ing. So I kept anonymous so that I could beat a quick retreat if things weren't going well - but the Teqlo team's great, open response has helped to put those fears at ease. Anyway, there you go. Unmasked! Thank's very much for your kind comments - I hope I can live up to your expectations! I think I'll post the text of this comment over at techfold too... Best regards, --R BWHAHAHAHA!

It is I, TechFOLD!

Your comment and Jacoby's comment on Techfold suggest you know who the mysterious blogger is. We'll see if it was a one-off effort or he/she keeps on posting - if the latter, I still believe he should "uncloak" and have more credibility that way. Yeah, see you in Atlanta, although I'd rather head to Vienna :-) Domain registration points to Canada, but of course that means very little nowadays.

The guy who runs it did email in the post to our support address, which was nice of him to do. See you in Atlanta in a couple of weeks? Zoli,
