Silicon Welly
We didn’t even have to come up with that pun – it came preformed via Idealog, in an article which talks about how Wellington is helping to make the web ‘cool’ again in New Zealand.
With the likes of TradeMe, ProjectX (the latter being the creators of zoomin.co.nz), and, well, us, being based in our fair old town, not to mention those movie guys over at Weta, Wellington is quickly making a name for itself as a hub of creative technological endeavour. As is pointed out over at the ProjectX blog…
Wellington is hotting up with start-up fever. I know of 4–5 startups that are currently in the pipeline. With Weta now scaling up in terms of people and projects (more movies, animation and games) , Wellington is a buzz with all the activity. There are going to be some good opportunities for skilled people to work on some kick ass projects.
Hi, I’ve been away from Wellington for a lot of years and am coming home soon. I’m glad to see film and tech and all things related has blossomed and boomed. I just thought I’d point out that in 1998 I published an article in the Dom Post entitled “Imagine…Silicon Welly”. BR JD
