Ontela in the News

  • Post author:

Our good friend and fellow Wallingford resident Dan Shapiro popped up in the news recently on the widely read TechCrunch blog. Or, at least his company, Ontela did, amidst rumors that they’re in a $60 million deal to buy Photobucket from News Corp’s MySpace.

TechCrunch’s mercurial Michael Arrington huffed that Ontela has declined to comment, instead “sending us to voicemail”.

We’re sure it wasn’t personal. Dan was probably just out playing with his one year old twins at the McDonald School playground.

I started Wallyhood back in 2008, right when my son was born, because I realized I had lived in the neighborhood since 1993 and didn't really know my neighbors. I figured writing a blog about what was going on around me would be a good way to meet people and help other people do the same. As the years progressed, those neighbors have picked up the torch and it is now a group effort, which I adore. I moved out of Wallingford for a few years (2020 - 2025), but I'm back, now living with my wife, son and dog (Dillinger) up in Tangletown.
