| Last night we co-hosted a Federal Fiscal New Year’s Party with GovLoop, Young Government Leaders, and the Young AFCEANs at Current on Connecticut Ave. Everyone made a New Year’s resolution to virtualize their servers and use fewer acronyms. By this morning, AFCEA had already broken its resolution. |

Steve says his site has 20k users; his next goal: 100k.

Here’s a picture that belongs in The Scene (that’s our uber hip publication for the social crowd; subscribe free!): Searchles chairman Elias Shams, Palladian Partners’ Beth Maloney, K4’s Farrell O’Neill, and FirstService’s Sonya Simpson. Elias tells us he’s stepped down as CEO of Searchles but is chairman of the board and looking to sell if the right bidder comes along.
