At Ignighter we understand the importance of using the latest technology to conduct our day-to-day business. No company provides better cutting edge products than Apple of course. Our office is currently stocked with MacBook Pros, iPhones, and iPods. That being said, when we heard about the pending release of the coveted MacBook Wheel, we simply had to place ourselves on the waiting list.

The following is a guest post by Molly Bush, the charming young lady who helped Ignighter out over the summer by catalyzing our community and adding a much needed female voice to the group. She’s currently looking for a job which means her own irreverent blog is now password protected. Molly can’t go too long without sharing her commentary so we decided to have her write a guest post for us. The following is a reaction to this article on the popular academic website, ParisHiltonWatch, which alleges that Paris Hilton and George Clooney have been group dating:
I love internet sleuthing. Which is absolutely normal and not creepy. I also love celebrities and I love stalking them. But again, not like a creepy Paula Abdul obsessed fan. More like an internet socialite. It’s endearing, I swear. When I came across an article about Paris Hilton possibly dating George Clooney (and by dating, I mean group dating) I knew exactly where to find them!!! The only website I know about for group dating… and now for celebrity sleuthing too? Seemed to good to be true.
I signed onto Ignighter.com to see if they had profiles set up. Sadly for them they aren’t members yet. I really think they might want to consider it, though, for great group date ideas, or in case they want to group date with someone other than their managers… or if maybe George Clooney wants to date me instead. If for some strange reason he doesn’t want to date a stalker he could try some of the less stalkerish friends in my group on for size.
I like group dating for many reasons, mostly that it seems like less terrible and less alcoholic behavior to get tipsy (read: dance on tables) on a group date rather than on a regular old skool, awkward date. Another reason I love group dating is that it makes me look less loserish (read: unemployed). Example: If a potential suitor asks me what I do for a living and I respond “nothing”, a friend is most likely going to jump in with something that’s true like “yeah, but she is really funny” or “yeah but she has really marketable web research skills, especially in the celebrity research socialite department” or “yeah, but she is really tan and pretty!” That always helps. But weird if I said it about myself all by myself on a not-so-group date.
But, celebrities seem to be able to drink as much as they like. And they don’t even have to worry about their bar tabs. If they went to Catacombs for example, they’d be able to afford many, many $2 vodka sodas. A celebrity would never have to worry about coming off as a loser (like I do) they are celebrities after all! But I am all in for celebrities group dating. It feels like I am finally where I belong, thanks to group dating; on the same dating-playing field as Paris Hilton. Maybe one day we’d even be group dating together!!! And because we were together, group dating, I’d be there (when we both drank too much) to make sure she was wearing underwear. I guess celebrities must need good friends and group dates to help them out as well.

Anybody who has followed our blog or the trajectory of our company could probably infer that spending our summer in Boulder, Colorado at TechStars was the single greatest business decision we’ve made until now.
If you are in the New York area and want to learn more about TechStars from its self-proclaimed Grand Poobah (David Cohen) and its self-proclaimed handsomest alumni company (us), then come by the TechStars Meetup tomorrow night. See below for info:

Everybody’s favorite Ignighteresses are back at it with another post as they dive into using Ignighter’s fun connection features. Check out the latest in their Ignighter adventures:
So we are getting familiar with the site, tweaking our profile and checking out the groups. We’ve even exchanged a few messages with other groups. What we’ve found is that some of the features on the site could have been quite useful to us in the past! Not sure what we mean?
On the Benefits of a Profile…
We once met a young man in a bar. He was charming in a sort of weird and awkward way, and for some reason in our drunken state we kind of dug that he was wearing his sunglasses at night. We thought he was funny, and when he asked us out for dinner later that week, we thought, why not? As the days went on, we started to mildly panic. What if we don’t know what he looks like without his sunglasses? What if he looks hideous without them? Well, the good news (and bad, obviously), was that he did, in fact, show up to dinner wearing said sunglasses- and he never took them off, citing “social experimentation” as the reason. Since this guy took the express train from Quirky Town to Freak-ville, there was clearly not going to be a layover in Bone City.
Perhaps, had he a handy online profile to reference, we would have known other important facts about him, such as his lack of alcohol consumption, and philosophies on “minimalism”. We hate minimalism. Our philosophy is everything, all of it. So, hopefully by us being as honest as possible, we will meet other guys like us, instead of ones who are clearly from another planet.
On “Digging”…
We’ve been told we were “dug” in a variety of ways. First grade, when Bobby Simone kicked us in the shins on the playground at recess. Fifth grade, when Garrett Norris told us we looked so much better now that we got our braces on and we cried hysterically. Eighth grade, when one of the Steinberg twins (we never could tell them apart), invited us into the closet for seven minutes. High school, when the following deep dialogue took place:
Him: “Haven’t you always wanted to kiss someone in the rain?”
Us: “Um, yeah, sure…”
Him: “Well, it’s raining.”
AND SCENE.
College, when no explicit expression of digging was necessary- but many, many shots of So Co lime were. And now the Void, where it’s all text messages and facebooks. Need we say more?
Clicking and letting someone know you are into them saves your legs (and ego) from bruises, puts an end to emo conversations, and spares your liver from suffering for your bad decisions . We dig the “dig”.
We’re quite looking forward to the “posting our plans” feature, which we plan to use right after some of us return from our tropical, warm weather vacations and some of us visit family in sunny Florida, and some of us have to work and reorganize our closets and will have JUST AS MUCH FUN as some of us!!! Until then, Happy Holidays to all of you! We love you and can’t wait to see you in 2009.
Good looking out ☺
