I get to work with and around some of the coolest companies and entrepreneurs right here in Central Ohio. Case in point is the fantastic team that is BrandThunder. They have built a solid business around extending browsers to themed marketing engines helping companies grow their businesses in tangible ways. It is a real asset to have their creative force be a part of the Dublin Entrepreneurial Center, and BrandThunder is great client company for TechColumbus and the Ohio Tech Angels. In short, BrandThunder ROCKS.
I'm linking to one of the recent blog posts that relates some exciting news, and a simple metric for the speed at which their product is being adopted by sports fans (30+ themes), NASCAR fans, music fans and a host of others.

Limiting distribution through team channels limits the reach of the product. (As an aside, if you really want to learn about how teams can keep up with their fans, follow Sports Networker.)
