Video: How TechRepublic went from long-shot startup to one of world's biggest tech sites

At the TechRepublic 10th Anniversary Event on June 26, I told the story of how TechRepublic evolved from a long-shot startup in Louisville, Kentucky to become one of the world’s largest technology Web sites.

Here is the video of my 15-minute talk, which shares some of the early aphorisms that our team used as we built a new kind of trade publication and social network for IT professionals, and how we quickly realized that we had created something pretty special with the help of the TechRepublic community.
