Yep. Mortar's very own Jigsaw.com has been purchased by Salesforce.com.

That's the third Mortar client to get snapped up since we started the agency, and the second to do so after completing our brand development process (Jigsaw join Rydex Investments in that honor).

Its big news for sales managers everywhere as the combination of Jigsaw's crowd sourcing genius and SalesForce's dominance of CRM come together in, dare I say it, a cloud of gloriously fresh leads.  

Salesforce.com's shares jumped several % on the news.

Intelligent coverage here.

In between writing screenplays for Rambo and prehistoric grizzlies bursting from refrigerators in the woods of Maine (FreezerBurn), our buddy Richard Smith produced these shorts for the History Channel.

Using chalk and audio he recorded over the phone.

Just in.

Our first mobile app client, and the undisputed king of photosharing on the iPhone, AirMe, just landed a much vaunted official honoree nomination in the social networking category of the upcoming Webby's. Cool.

Ok, so maybe I'm on vacation and a little bitter I missed the Girl-scout-cookie-fest (you just know all the mint thins are gone already; and all that will remain for me on Monday will be one, solitary, macaroon). Still, it gives me the slimmest of opportunities to post this troubling snap our Todd shot last year in a far away land… (which for reasons we can't get into we cannot identify).

Yup. Rat. Its what's for dinner. (Shoulda given this one to Hugh).
